I finished my largest running volume week since I hurt myself in December with 40 minutes at 7:24 pace. From a fitness level perspective the run felt very comfortable—I have really been surprised at how little fitness I lost given the fact I barely ran for a month and a half. My left leg felt fine during the run, but a few hours later tightened up the most since my "comeback." The pain was pretty manageable and did not last for very long, but it was yet another reminder that I am still not back to 100%. This morning I did 15 minutes of strengthening and stretching exercises after my elliptical workout and I feel a ton better. I think this is just going to have to be the "new normal" from now until the marathon—some degree of tightness, ongoing physical therapy (particularly given the fact I am fast approaching my annual insurance deductible), and a whole lot of stretching. Getting old blows...
