mileage & test the leg
ACHIEVED
12.88 mi.@ 8:27
6:29 AM 54° 74% 3 mph
Went out with the group this morning. It was nice to see people and run with my friends again. They were scheduled for a 10-miler. I wanted to test my leg a bit before getting out on the road with the group so I ran the 3-mile loop at Memorial Park before the group got together. This morning's version included: Randy, Jonathan, Michele, Laurie, Stacey (visiting from Alaska), Shellie, Nikki, and William. We were our own version of the walking wounded. It seems almost everyone was dealing with some injury or another.
Happy to report the run went well. I can still feel my left leg is weak. My hamstring really tightened up throughout the run. Things weren't perfect but there seems room for optimism.
PRE RUN
water, oatmeal w/brown sugar & skim milk
POST RUN
SlimFast & Clif bar
Later, water, Kashi GoLean cereal

Had a debate with myself over the first mile and a half about how far today's run was going to be (a shortcoming of not have a scripted workout schedule!). Now that it's over, I'm happy that the "longer" side of my brain won out.

5:23 AM 43° 81% 4 mph
After Saturday's my legs felt like they had been through a meat grinder. This persisted through the day on Sunday. Clearly they're not used to the pounding of road running.
Today's run seemed like I was pretty much on one leg. I was feeling everything on my left leg as "tweaked out" ... hamstring, IT band, Achilles, calf, etc.
I don't have a clear path or plan for getting myself ready for the marathon from here. Just playing it be ear ....
