8 [minute] mile
4/11
Ok, I used the Gmaps Pedometer to measure Monday's run. It came out to be about 6.75 miles. When I divide my time by this, I get ... 8.05 minutes per mile. Much slower than I thought yesterday, but on the other hand, its still and 8 minute mile.
Ran easy today on account of yesterday. Ran the basic 3 mile course, and got a time of 24 min. So it looks like I am hard wired to run 8 minute miles. That's ok if that scales up to marathon distance. (I know, I really shouldn't be concerned about time for this first marathon).
4/12
Feeling a little concerned about achilles tendonitis. After a long run I sometimes feel what can best be termed an "awareness" of this tendon. Not pain or discomfort, just a different feeling. Last night, I felt just the slightest bit of a burning sensation. No problem in itself, but it has me worried that it could develope into something more serious.
I guess I should take it easy for a week or so and see how it goes. I skipped today's workout. I'll plan on a light run for tomorrow.
