First run with the running group since the Phoenix marathon with no major issues. My hamstrings and hips felt tight and the pace was a little slower than it had been in the 18 weeks prior to the race but still kept the average mile time at 7:44/mi. With that being said I'm happy with being able to run that two weeks out from a major race that I smashed my PR and still feel healthy!
The guys gave me a little grief for racing in my Hokas but a 10 minute PR is huge and I reminded them of that. Next longer term goal is get registered for Boston next spring and run a great race! Short term goal will be to run some 5k and 10k races around town and work on speed and strength.
