Sun: 12.2/59:26/4:52/VFF A bit hot again, but overall a good recovery run. Took the fraying straps off the VFFs and they work fine like that.
Mon: 12.2/57:48/4:44/Evo Super hot and humid with no wind! Felt like I was definitely running slower than yesterday, so a bit surprised by the pace. May be because I stopped my watch for a bit while getting around some water under one of the bridges, although not for that long. Legs are tired but ok, but my back has really been stiff. Tired in general, so will rest tomorrow.
Tue: Rest
Wed: 20/1:34:51/4:44/VFF About 10 degrees cooler than my run on Monday, a north wind down the Arakawa and rain, what a difference! A bit stiff in my left leg, and could feel some tightness in my back, but the rest and a long sleep yesterday seemed to help. Was a bit slow when I took a split about 15K in, so pushed a bit at the end to get a decent pace. I wonder how I'm going to cut 30 seconds off this pace in the race on Sep 26, but I'll just have to wait and see.
Thu: 12.2/59:44/4:53/Evo Stiff legs, tired body, north wind and rain made for a slow run. Went by relatively quickly though and glad that I got out there and did it.
Fri: Rest - great relaxing night at beach with family!
Sat: 10.7/50:54/4:45/VFF Really pleasant run out in Katsutadai along the river after dropping off the rental car. A little stiff at first, and little painful on some of the big gravel on the trail next to the river, but focused on running slow and relaxing. Cool air, great fall insects and birds, and beautiful sunset!
Total mileage: 67.3 Good recovery week, although I wonder if I should have done less miles or focused on running more slowly. Will do a taper next week in prep for my HM on Sunday, will it be enough of a taper?
