Week 4
I didn’t think I would do a long run this week with my back and knee hurting during the week.
I had food before my long run for the first time along with some pain killers, my knee cuff and a heat pad for my back. I accidentally ran 0.5 mile further (really…I know ) and did 15.5 miles. Yipee!!.
Hips didn’t really hurt and heat patch stopped my back hurting.
I sped up, as planned, for the last 4.5 miles ahead of my 1230 min/mile training pace. (1145 min/mile marathon goal pace).
Very Happy Sunday….punched the air as I came into the last .3 of a mile!!
Here is to a good week 5 🙂
