| Ran for 1:12:10... I took it easy so probably covered about 8.85 miles. I started at Morro Bay to Cayucous, about 45 mins on not compacted sand because there was a really high tide, plus strong winds. I took the pace easy, but it was not an easy run. But I got a good running tan:) | | Comments(1) |

I ran my first full marathon this morning at the Long Beach Marathon. I went out kinda hard because I was worried my legs would peter out in the end. Which my legs did, after mile 21, my goal was just to finish. My legs and feet hurt so bad, I can barely walk right now. But it was all worth it...I feel so accomplished!
I placed first in my division, females 20-24. 36th female overall and 264th with both males and females. My finish time was 3:33:23 (8:09 pace). I qualified for Boston Marathon! There were about 3000 runners in the marathon. | | Comments(12) |

| Took my dog for short walk this morning and taught a 60 minute yoga class. My IT bands are extremely tight/sore. If anyone reads this and has some tips on marathon recovery, I'd appreciate any insight as Sunday was my first marathon. | | Comments(5) |

Mandatory rest day because of all my graduate classes are Thursday and fridays mornings.
The pictures from my marathon are done from during the race, I look like I was about to die... I didn't feel like I was going to until the end. And lots of the pictures were taken close to the finish line. I'll try post one on here later.

| Began my run with 4 miles @ tempo, 3 miles about marathon pace, and last mile @ tempo. felt great! But the last 1.5 miles my IT-bands were somewhat sore, I'm guessing still from the marathon. | | Comments(1) |

I ran at pretty fast clip early this morning... average 7:04 pace for 8 miles. I just felt like running hard. Felt really good, my it-bands are still a little sensitive. I need a foam roller.

took it easy today... supposedly one is to reverse tapper post-marathon... which is what I'm doing. Plus my dang it-band is still kind tight, that is a hard place to stretch.
I think next week I'll move into higher mileage... if anyone reads this is 2 weeks of reverse tappering post-marathon sufficient, too much, too little?

| Ran about 8.4 - 8.5 miles this morning. It was 1hr. 7 mins., not sure the exact distance. I'm in Paso Robles this weekend, so ran through a little different scenery, plus it was very crisp out in the morning. The side of my hip, which I think is the IT-band started hurting again around mile 5... I wondering if a massage would help? | | Comments(1) |

Tempo run. I ran the first 4 miles at a fast tempo 27:41 = 6:55 pace (Stopped around mile 2.3 for a quick drink at the H20 fountain). Then, ran 5 easy miles. Pushed mile 10 to end with a 7 minute mile.
