Less than two weeks to Antwerp! I'm trying to focus on eating well and drinking a lot of water. My appetite is definitely smaller than it was when I was running the 16 and 18 mile weekend long runs. It's nice not to be ravenous all the time. With the lower weekly miles my legs feel good without any of the little twinges here and there that I was feeling during those high mileage weeks. All in all feeling good and looking forward to the upcoming trip.
MONDAY: 3.4 miles at 10:31 pace. 316 kcals. 146 Avg HR. Haven't done a run this short in a long time!
TUESDAY: 6.0 miles at 10:18 pace. 589 kcals. 151 Avg HR. Good run. There is only one run longer than this (Saturday -- 8 miles) before the marathon. Felt great. Legs strong. A few aches and pains that resolved easily. It will be interesting to run a totally flat course. All my runs have included hills and while the long ones can be a pain I actually like some hills.
THURSDAY: 3.3 miles at 10:55 pace. 333 kcals. 148 Avg HR. Slow run. Hot day -- in the low 70s. Nothing particularly difficult about the run -- it was short! But I definitely prefer the cooler temperatures.
