I ran out to mini GU corner, out and back, and today was the best that my hip has felt in 4 months so that is a very good sign:-D I know its still there but if it feels that good while running the marathon then I should be in good shape. I really tried to take it easy this morning, but every time I would check the pace I was going faster than I wanted to be going so I would try and reel myself in, I ended up having a 8:38 pace average with 2 miles at marathon pace or should I say my adjusted MP and those were 8:25(138) and 8:24(143). I think my real MP is more like 7:30, so about a minute faster but I am adjusting for my injury and the time off because of that injury... Total time today was 52:41 and my heart rate average was 138. Now if I can just stay healthy and not catch a cold between now and the marathon, I will be popping Vitamin "C" like its candy for the next week or so!
See ya tomorrow.
