Friday:
AM; 5.5 miles, easy pace. Felt decent.
PM: 10 miles, 1:09:09 overall, 6:55/mile pace. I gave myself a rather hilly course to run. I could certainly feel it in my legs, but I was still able to maintain my usual too fast for an easy run pace without any extra perceived effort.
Saturday: 35-37 degree temperatures with a light but steady rain. Ran 18 miles untimed through Baltimore at a couple of different paces ranging from easy to moderate as I did different portions with different people. I was feeling it pretty badly early on but after about 10 miles, the pain just melted away and I finished quite strong.
Of course afterward both my knees were sore thanks to the cold rain. My left knee is still a bit tight and my left groin/hip area is a bit sore. Cold rain just does a number on me, so I think I'm fine. Walking around feels better than sitting around.
Should be all ready for that 5K tomorrow! It's supposed to be 40 degrees at the start, so I can't wait.
