Kelly and I were up early and at the gym. 5 miles at a 8.50 pace was on the schedule - so that is what I did. I have decided to add incline to each of my treadmill runs. I ran at a 1% incline today. It is still amazing to me how much even a small incline can add to the challenge of a run.
For more information on the benefits of running at an incline take a look at the following website http://www.treadmillbynet.com/articles/incline-training-treadmill.html.
Unfortunately the ligament pain in my right foot is more severe today. Not so much during the run but throughout the rest of the day - regardless of how I walked or what type of shoes I wore. As a result I will probably bike for an hour tomorrow and see how the foot feels on Wednesday.
This is frustrating . . . . . but with 11 weeks to the race I have time to deal with this issue and still be prepared to run sub-4 hours. Glass 1/2 full - no hamstring or thigh muscle issues.
Listened to another 'Two Gomers Run a Marathon' podcast during the run.
