AM - I kept trying to figure out what I was going to do this morning. I've been so nervous about my hami. I ended up spending some good time on it yesterday work'n it out. I didn't want to go out and do something too crazy though. I couldn't decide whether to do my track workout I always do two weeks before the marathon or go do tempo with the guys. I decided it would be safer to stick with the track - if things got bad I could just shut it down, stretch and go slow.
My plan was to do the first one at 5:40-50 and see how I felt. However, after getting going the first half lap I realized it felt fine and cruised it in. Here's how they went down:
5:17, 5:07, 5:03
Ended up feeling really strong and relaxed. I'm actually quite surprised. Hami didn't bug at all - hips were a little screwy but not too bad. Aerobiclly I felt like I could go faster, but didn't want to push the leg too much. Really happy with everything.
Cool down - 9 miles total.
Planning on going out tonight for a slow 4-5 miles.
