Well today was a 5 miler before the long run (18 miles) this Sunday. Left leg is still bothersome so I laid up a bit and slowed the pace. Made sure not to push to hard and I’ll have to do the same on Sunday to make sure I don’t end up like last year doing the last month on elliptical. Anyhow all in all the legs felt good after during my stretch. There is a slight shin splint on the left side but have laid up and reduced intensity early enough that it should be able to recover even through the running. Anyhow for the running stats de jour, 5 miles in 42:25 for an average pace of 8:29 minute miles. That is still great considering after the injury last year I was running 10 minute miles. Also the weight is getting near marathon weight, I’m currently at 175lbs. And so far this month I’ve run 110 miles (176KM). Things are moving along well.
