Posterior Tibialis Recovery

Morning Pilates

Official time 3:03:55, PR by 6:25. This was a tough one.  Woke up at 3:00am and felt a little off.  Ran by power using my Stryd Pod and felt in control until hitting the wall at mile 24.  Tried to push it faster at miles 25 and 26, but had nothing left.  

I am really happy with the end result.  Met my 'A' goal of sub 3:05, 'B' goal of a PR, but missed my 'C' goal of negative split.  Fourth marathon, but second marathon that I raced. First two were over 12 years ago.  This went better than TCM, but running a marathon is hard.  Now, I need to work with my coach to see how to avoid hitting the wall at the end of the race.

Thanks to all my running buddies that helped me train through the miserable MN winter.  I did not think that I would have to run so many miles indoors or on a treadmill.  Also thanks to my coach who put together a great marathon training block based on my current fitness level and providing a lot of positive feedback on my workouts.
