Recovery run

Starting the taper for Philadelphia today. Went on a 4 mile recovery run with 3 strides (down to the water). It was raining pretty good out. I tried my new 'winter' running shoes and they seemed to work pretty well, my feet stayed dry.

I've been doing a lot of thinking about pacing for next weekend and I think that a realistic time will be 1:51 for the 1/2 marathon which is 8:30 minute miles. The course is pretty flat so it is possible that I'll come in faster.

Distance: 4 miles Pace: 8:56 Average HR: 156
