Week 3

This week was tough. As mentioned earlier I felt some pain after my 9 mile run. As the days went on the pain got progressively worse. I ended up doing my speed workout but skipped my Friday run to try to save myself for the 10 mile long run. I ended up completing the 10 mile run, which in hindsight was probably a bad idea. Ramsey came into town and we did it together, in pretty good time. It was nice running with him and having some company for a change....but probably should have given the leg the day off. I scheduled a doctor's appt for a couple weeks from now and in the mean time Im not running at all. Ive been in the gym riding the bike and lifting, but its killing me not to run. Im at the point now where I have to be careful or I could jeopardize the whole marathon. Keeping my fingers crossed that the injury will clear up soon.

1. Speed Workout - 4 x (2 min fast/2 min slow) - AVG HR 174
2. 10 miles - 1:35:18 - AVG HR 176
