I slight push to get out of bed, but once I got out and into the run, things were all good. With just about 6 weeks to go I am trying to make sure to take the easy runs easy and this morning was easy.

A great way to finish a run, with a good stretching routine.  I wish I had to time to do this routine after every run, but nope, not happening.

Needed a ride to work, lunch time meeting, thus only this evening to run, rain, blah feeling, thus the treadmill.  Threw in a little speed work with 1 mile at 7:30, 1/2 mile at 7:00 and 1/4 mile at 6:30.  Damn footpod went flying off at one point so the garmin stopped recording so this is my first full manual run entry in weeks

A decent long run of 20 miles to follow up my 11 yesterday. The route I ended up with would have given me 21 but at mile 20 I decided it was enough and walked a mile home instead of pushing it.

I think I can count the number of runs I have done where it has down poured on me amd today was one of those few. After two days off running, one with stretching and strength training and yesterday with rest, today the legs felt far better. The left calf and right thigh still need some tlc and I’ll try to stay smart with my remaining marathon training.
