This morning I ran the double loop. From home over Tonaquint to Dixie Center and back to Bloomington then around Bloomington Drive to home. I ran into Logan, Clyde and Dave at the Dixie Center. They were done with their workout and ready to run their cooldown. They took off for Bllomington and I just tried to keep up with their cooldown pace. That happens to be about where my marathon pace is. It was great having them pace me, I stayed with them for 2 1/4 miles then I continued on to my last 3 miles. Thanks for pacing me! (8:50 average pace for 8.85 miles) When I was running behind the gang I felt like I could have run closer to 7:00 to 7:30 the legs felt good on that stretch but I wanted to make sure that that I didn't push too hard. Today felt good...body starting to heal.
Tried on some Saucony Fastwitch 3's today. I ran for a bit on the treadmill (.65m) to get a feel for them. I decided that I will wait until after the marathon to wear them. Don't want to screw things up this close. |
