Beaten up but marching on

You do feel a bit beaten up after a marathon, even a training one.

Showers have been painful thanks to runners' nipple. The front of the bottom of my left leg is sore, probably from doing the marathon in almost new trainers. There is a twinge on the side of my left knee that seems to be getting better.

Having said that the pace of my easy run into work this morning improved a lot over yesterday at about 8:15 minute miles.

The second run this evening was a plod at 9:00 pace and I was fine with that.

I have some speed work planned for tomorrow morning. Hmmm. I may just do progressive intervals and try to end up at the right pace.
