AM: 8.74 miles easy. I met Ben and Jon in North Ogden for a nice, easy morning run. It was beautiful out there just after the rainfall. Great to see those two back out running and training again after being on the injury reserve for a few months now.
Update on my knee. I stopped mentioned my knee as I'm sure people were sick of hearing about it daily. But, it feels great now. I think the inflammation is gone, but I am still icing it and treating it as though it's not gone just for safety precautions.
Update on training and Ogden Marathon. I decided I'm going to do a very minimal taper (at least compared to what I've done in the past) that will start this Saturday. Two reasons for this: I feel like I've over-tapered in the past and also I want to somewhat "train through" Ogden. I want to still do well there, but with my lack of volume in April my hopes aren't as high and I don't want Ogden to slow down my training too much for Duluth in June. But don't get me wrong I will still race it hard and try my best, I just am not going to back off as much leading into the race.
Lunchtime: 5 miles easy on the base perimeter road. |
