This morning I ran 16 miles in a time of 2:23:44. I knew it was supposed to warm today, so I headed out at 7:00 am to avoid the sun and heat. It didn't work, though. It actually felt like a summer morning. I had a tough time getting started and really didn't get into a rhythm until the seventh mile. Then, for some reason, I started to get motivated and picked up a good steady pace. About the 10 mile or so, my left hip began to give me problems. It had actually been bothering me earlier in the week during one of my harder runs. But, today it was a lot worse.
Well, today ended week 7 of my 16 week training for the Shamrock Marathon coming up on March 18th. I had a really good training week and made a lot of progress. I need to keep this up if I'm going to shave off 39 minutes off my next marathon. Next week I'm really going to step it up during the week and focus on speed and intervals, since the long run is only 8 miles.
