I felt alot better this morning than I did on Saturday, I am still feeling sluggish and not as strong as I have in the past few weeks. My foot felt good today so I did a little tempo run, 2 miles at marathon goal pace; I did 2 warm up miles and then settled into my tempo run. First mile split was 7:08 heart rate was 161 which is alittle fast but I went with it, and I felt in control for the most part. Second mile was done alot slower for the simple reason that I wanted it to be more close to the pace that I need to qualify for Boston, which is a 7:40 mile but I did it in 7:39 HR was 155 and I felt like I could of held that pace for awhile which is positive. The rest of the run was done at a slower pace to cool down and Idid not want push my foot to hard, it was alittle sore at the end of my run which was a concern but it is 1:30 in the afternoon and it is feeling better. I will now start to do a little mini taper for the Riverwoods 10 Mile race on Saturday, I plan on doing my standard recovery run tomorrow of 8 miles and then slowly decrease my mileage to Saturday, Wednesday 6 miles, Thursday 5 miles and then 3 miles on Friday. I hope my foot will hold up for the whole race. Total time today was 1:23:38.
