Wednesday, January 12, 2011 -

AM - 4 miles @ 6:30 mile pace (26:00).  I ran 26:20, 6:33.5 mile pace on the treadmill.  My legs felt fine, but I could really feel a pain in my left lower ab muscle.  It may be strained.  I feel like my abs are pretty strong that it shouldn't be a pain from being weak.  I will keep monitoring it and continue to work on my overall core/body strength as I always have.

PM  - 4 miles @ 6:30 mile pace (26:00).  I ran this outside and felt good and so did my lower ab.  I ran the right pace and got in a good stretch.

Two days until race day!
