My quads are fairly pounded, but started to feel better throughout the run. I was really happy to have running friends this morning. 8 mile out and back with Angie and Becca. 7:28 average.

Quads are still pretty sore. I was going to try a workout tomorrow, but I think I will be waiting for Thursday. Atherton to 700 W to River Trail run with Becca. 7:31 average. Legs warm up pretty well. Downhill still hurts!

I haven't done any speedwork in a while, so today was a rustbuster turnover workout. I wasn't sure if I would feel very good, because I haven't felt very recovered from the half on Saturday. So, the goal was to ease into it.5-4-3-2-1 lap intervals with 400 m recovery. 90,88,86,84,82 per lap goal pace.

3.75 warm up, including 2x200

2k: Goal: 7:30 Actual:7:20 (Since I felt pretty good, I decided to knock down my goal paces by 2 seconds a lap.

1600: Goal: 5:45 Actual:5:40

1200: Goal: 4:12 Actual:4:11 (This one was closest to goal pace.)

800: Goal: 2:45 Actual: 2:39!

400: Goal:80 Actual:73.4!

I was feeling super spunky today. Becca pushed me to faster times than I have run in YEARS! I didn't even know I could run a sub-5:00 pace anymore!!!

Not entirely relevant for a marathon, but definitely a confidence builder.

1.2 mile cooldown. I'm trying a UJAM class later today! Get my hip hop on!

I didn't sleep well last night. I slept in a little this morning and ran on the treadmill. 8.3 boring miles!
