23 days to M-day

R2/W1 yesterday, R3/W2 today. Todays session seemed slightly better in terms of doing it, even tho the average minmile came out to be the same.

A one minute walking break did not seem adequate, it takes 30 sec for us to catch our breath after running and another 30 to bring up the speed of walking. 2min walk break was good today. I think we will follow the 2R/2W routine during the marathon.( seems rather late in the day to be trying out new walking schedules)

I have developed some left sided hip bone pain. Its not in the hip as such but in the pelvic bone. I think I have had it for a few years but now it is intensified. Does not prevent me from running but hurts when I get up from a chair. Treid icing and using a local gel , hope doesnt affect my borderline times!

And my feet- the bottoms have started hurting- burning pain. I walk like an old, old lady, all stiff and bent and after 2 min it gets better. Ice them, massage and stretches, as long as they do their duty, its oK.

Rest tomorrow, LSd 20-26 miles Sat, depending on available time, mood, determination, motivation, desire, etc, etc , etc.
