Daily Note

Long run as soon as the sun was up. Legs weren't feeling bad from the race yesterday and just did the first 12 pretty smooth. Started a tempo with 5 miles to go with the goal of running marathon pace. Ended up pretty close on the splits, but they felt a little tougher than I would have liked. Went 5:36, 5:48, 5:46, 5:43, 5:43. Felt really good starting off but struggled in the second half. Buildup to this point hasn't been ideal with not getting as much strength work as I would like, but trying not to panic just yet. Still have 2 months to go and a lot can change in that time frame. Once the weather turns that will also help.
