Nice steady run this morning, no shooting stars today, but there was a real bright moon out and it made easy to see for most of the run... Average pace was 8:53 and the heart rate average was147, still high, I had two miles that were a minute off my marathon pace, 8:36(151) and 8:36(146) with one warm up and two miles for a cool down. Total time was 44:40, I would like to get that down under 40 minutes for that course and for the 5 miles, I went out in 21:20 and then 23:20 coming back, so I lost alittle towards the end. My legs were getting tired. My left leg felt really good when I started and then it got alittle sore towards the end but each time it seems to go longer into the run before it starts to ache, so that is a good sign... I also did the standard lower body workout of leg strength training and then some core training as well, 70 push-ups all done in sets between sets of crunches on the rubber ball.
That is about it, nothing spectacular but I am sure glad to be out on the road and pounding the pavement, See ya tomorrow.
