I ran the Payson Park loop this morning, I waited until the rain stopped and went out around 8:30. I haven't run the Payson Park loop for along time and it felt good to get out that far and include the rolling hills, I plan on doing this route every Monday until about a week before SG and then I will do a mini taper. I pushed it on the hills mostly on the way back up and then I did a marathon pace mile in the middle (8:00). My average pace was 8:36 with my heart rate at 145, total time was 1:01:55 not real fast but it felt good... My hip was a little sore but I stopped and stretched for a few minutes and it felt pretty good after that. I also did my upper body weight training and I also did some core training on the rubber ball, and then at the end I hopped on the elliptical for 11:00 minutes so I am counting that as a mile, mainly because my heart rate was in the 135 to 140 range, I was clipping along pretty good!
Thats about it for today. SGM is just around the corner and It will be interesting to see how I do, I think on my taper I will start that like a week before the marathon and then see how my legs do. I still don't know what shoe I will use, I'm leaning towards the 2130s they have a little more stability than the Nimbus 10's, I don't know! Any suggestions out there?
See ya tomorrow.
