12 Mile Marathon Training Run

This morning I completed a 12 mile run in 2:38:47.  I’m struggling with knee pain so I ran intervals of 3 minutes of running with 1 minute of walking.  I also slowed my jogging down significantly.  My average pace was 13:14.  Lately my average has been between 11:30 – 12:00 minute miles.

Except for the knee pain, I had a marvelous run.  My nutrition and hydration were spot on today.  The weather was in the low 60 degrees so it made for a very comfortable time to be outdoors.  I could barely see through my glasses doing intervals, due to them fogging up, so after 4 miles I put in my contact lens.  What a difference!

At the beginning of the run I ran into Tawnya again. We jogged together for two miles.  I really need to incorporate the rolling hills on 67th by her house into my route.
