Marathon Training

Tempo run

2 miles to Astoria Park Track

4 miles at 8:54 pace
My actual splits:
8:34
8:42
8:37
8:14

1 mile cool down (shuffle/jog/walk) back home

Total: 7 miles
Comments:
My legs and back were aching more than any tempo run (back from dance classes and legs from the Queens half on Sunday), I think I might be reaching the part of my training where my body aches more and I’m going to have to suck it up. Given that, I was glad my splits were all on target, its probably going to take more mental strength to maintain that (I really wanted to stop after the first mile).

Time to get ready for Jillian’s wedding.
