Today I ran 8 miles in 58:21. I warmed up for the first mile to where I was running at 8.1 mph by the end of that mile, and for the next 3 miles continued at the same speed. Miles 5-7 I ran at 8.3 mph and then I started the last mile at 8.4 and increased as usual, running the last 100 meters at 10.0 mph.
I was particularly vigilante of my left hip muscle, due to my muscle twinge yesterday. Though it never really hurt after the run, I could feel it the rest of the day and was worried it would prevent me from running today, particularily at the speed I wanted to run at. All was well and I did not even feel it during my run. However, I did run the last 100 meters just a little slower than I would have normally.
I could feel that my legs are still somewhat fatigued from the marathon. Nothing surprisingly, of course. However, the faster I ran, the better I actually felt.
