My legs felt a little better this morning but still sore and not a lot of zip in them yet. I ran out towards mini GU corner and then did a mile loop around my house to get the 7 miles in for the day:-) My pace was really slow and I just wanted to work out the soreness and try and get back on track. My average pace was 9;10 with my heart rate average at 136, total time was 1:04:27. I have decided that I need to work on getting my quads stronger as I feel like they just weren't strong enough to hold up through the latter part of the race, so I am going to incorporate some strength training into my weekly workouts and see if I can get them stronger. And I also hope that as I slowly increase my mileage over the next few months that they will get stronger along with the strength training... I also did my standard core strength training along with my push-ups and then I did some light strength training on my legs trying to improve strength in that area.
I will See you tomorrow.
