I felt very low after Friday's run... emotionally spent and starting to feel the physical effects of a week of long running days. Whilst none of my muscles actually ached, my legs felt like they had a low electrical current running through them, and I struggled to settle down to sleep. I therefore wasn't feeling very optimistic about today's run.
But Saturday dawned reasonably bright and dry (although rain was forecast), and so it was time to put my game face on and get out there... Having coped with yesterday's run by focussing on holding a 12 minute mile pace, I decided to try the same again today, but with a view to the fact that I probably would need to aim for a slower pace with yet another day in my legs. However, with a change of shoe option for the day (comfortable Hokas... just love them when my legs are spent!) I started out well enough to try for 12 minute miles again, and stuck to the game plan... the result - another 5:09 marathon (the same time as yesterday!). Even the threatened rain didn't turn too heavy, and soon fizzled out. I'll take that! So, tomorrow is our final day. The end is in sight... just 26.2 miles left to run... or walk... or crawl... I'll let you know!
