I have been thinking about yesterday's run. Bummed out about the hip...can hardly walk. It seems like forever ago that I ran the Saint George Marathon....really only 5 weeks and I was able to cut 55 seconds off of my marathon pace. I know I am not as prepared as I was for the marathon so I am feeling much better about the time yesterday. I am starting to understand more about getting proper rest between long races. I am planning on running the Painters Half in January...talked myself into it today. I will take it very easy this week and try t get the hip feeling better. Probably get doing some biking to break things up. I do plan on training harder in December and leading up to the run doing some longer runs just as I did for the marathon. The one thng that I was lacking yesterday was being able to feel strong at the end. In September I was feeling much better after much longer runs.
Great race to all that ran!!! |
