I ran in the heat of the day just to feel it so my body want be to freaked out if its hot during the SGM in a couple of weeks. I ran out to Payson via canal road just after 12:30, my legs were nice and loose but I kept the pace as easy as I could and I started to get a little over heated towards the end but not to bad. My average pace 8:40 with my total time at 52:30 average HR was 148, a little high for that pace but it had to do with the hotter temps and the fact that I had a coke about a half hour before I went out... After the run I did my upper body weight training and some push-ups and now it's off to Ice my knee for a bit, it felt good in fact the warm temps really loosened up my legs, I wish they were that loose in the mornings when I run. I hate getting old! Tomorrow I think I'll keep my long run 14 miles or less and then next week I will be cutting my daily runs in half to 3 to 3.5 miles just to keep my legs loose and then the same for the week of the marathon, although I don't think I will run pass Wednesday the week of the marathon... See ya tomorrow.
