runnings

Today I did my last 20 miler before the Eau Claire marathon. It went well, but it wasn't quick. I've been struggling with a pain in my glute that flares up any time I try to increase my pace. It happened earlier in my training when I started working in speed work so I had to back off. The weather has changed and I've been feeling good so I've tried to increase my pace and sure enough, the pain is coming back. I was a little apprehensive of today's run because of this, but keeping it slow and steady seems to have kept the pain at bay. I'm certainly not looking at a PR for this marathon.
