My new goal is to get back to where I was a few years ago; running mainly for enjoyment (and not just to reach a specific time standard) and to reach the highest level of fitness/speed that I feel is possible for me while maintaining a balanced lifestyle.

Conquer the last 10k of The Marathon.

Began (total) fast last night (8:30pm)
2.5hrs gardening this morning,
12pm: 2 miles jogging  then 5 miles at what felt like tempo/MP effort (don't wear a watch anymore so don't know the pace) felt like i was pretty slow though. I think legs are still tired from Sunday's race more than from low fuel. End of the 5 mi felt like the part of the marathon that makes me want to quit. Really  uncomfortable. 2 more miles jogging w/Jax felt ok.
*Never tried this before but it has been suggested numerous times by several trustworthy coaches. Not much on the line in this upcoming marathon so I thought it would be a good time to give it a try. Fast breaks after tomorrow mornings 5 mile jog.
*sacrum sore at point of old stress fracture. hopefully from gardening and painting. if it persists, I will certainly do the 1/2 mar instead of the full.

Sounds painful! Take it easy. I agree with you about pulling out of the full if the pain continues.
