Notes
Getting better... pain is gone from left and right hips. Some residual pain in right groin and abdominal, but it is moving toward manageable.
2 warm up miles
2 miles at marathon pace
2 cool down miles
Two things I noticed on the run:
1. I no longer have a sense of pace. Though I was trying to run 7:00 min/mile in mile 3 and 4 I was all over the place... constantly 30 seconds above or below pace and having to use the GPS to get myself back on pace. Funny thing is the splits were about perfect.
2. I am out of shape. The pace felt much harder than it should have for the distance travelled. Perhaps it is a case of my body no longer being used to the pace, or the constant fluctuations in pace I had. Either way, it was less comfortable than I would like.
Two more treatments left before leaving. Hopefully, some of the reamaining issues can be resolved.
