Slow miles- didn't even bring my watch. My legs were pretty sore from the 1/2- my left leg especially.

My left leg still not feeling so good after Saturday's run.  This run was at about 8-8:20 min pace, but felt a lot faster maybe because of the muggy weather or because of my sore left leg.  I will take another day off before the long run Sat.

20 miles on the marathon course.  I felt pretty good energywise, but my leg was hurting a little the last few miles so I didn't push the speed - I didn't have my watch which was actually kinda nice - no pressure and the miles seemed to go by pretty quickly.  We finished in less than 3 hours which included 2 pit-stops & and a couple of water walking breaks.  Now I need to strech my IT band and hip - I may redue my mid-week running so that I don't worsen this injury.
