We were greeted by these motivational messages near the end of the run.
I'm starting to feel like I don't have anything interesting to write about if I don't have an injury to talk about.
The run went fine. I kept up a fairly even pace and felt good throughout. I tried out a new fuel belt with the 4 mini water bottles on it. I drank one every 20 minutes and it did have an impact on my overall energy level I think. I skipped the water stops and tried to go off the water and gel packs I carried with me to try and get used to using the water bottles and getting them in and out of the belt while running. My goal is to run the marathon without any pauses. I know that might not be completely realistic, but that's my goal.
And cheerleaders.
I did feel a slight twinge in my right IT band and knee towards the end of the run. I've slacked a bit on my stretching and foam roller usage — just a little reminder to not get cocky and to keep up the work.
