I started out on my run and about 100 yards into it my groin started to tighten up.  I stopped and stretched and started off again.  I had to do that a few more times during my run so I tried to take it easier today and I did a little less distance.  My IT band also seemed to be tight, but it never hurt.  It just seemed tighter than usual.  I am being very cautious right now with everything because I am less than 3 weeks out from my race and I think at this point being healthy is much more important than running a lot of miles.  I know Rhett would agree!

AP:  Somewhere between 8:05 and 8:10 but I didn't keep a close eye on it.

I was very tired this morning.  I felt terrible.  Then I ran...  It was like everything changed and all of a sudden my legs felt great and my body felt great.  I thought it was going to be a slow run, but after the first mile I realized I was running around 8 min/mile and I felt like I was a turtle.  I increased the speed and still felt like I was not pushing too hard.  Ended up having a really nice run.

AP:  7:42

I had a great interval run this morning.  It is my last really hard run until my race on the 28th.  I tried to push pretty hard and see what I could do.  I did 1/2 mile intervals with 1/2 mile recovery, but the recovery was still at my MP or faster.  1 mile warmup and 1 mile cooldown.  I just felt so good and even at MP I felt like I was not pushing too hard until I hit about mile 7.  I was able to do most of my interval miles at 7:00 pace with two of them at 6:58.  I was really encouraged by the run and it was a confidence booster for my upcoming race!

AP:  7:22 for the full 10 miles.

Nice recovery run this morning.  I felt like I was just running at a comfortable pace and realized I was running at a 7:46 pace so I tried to slow down and logged the same pace for the next mile.  From there I made a real effort to slow down!  It was a little windy, but not too bad at all.

AP:  8:00

This was my last long run before the marathon.  I had a really good run with an AP of 7:50 and felt really good until mile 18 and the achillies got a little sore. 

Tried a TM run, but the achillies was still a little tight so I stopped at mile 1 and went on the bike for 20 minutes.
