felt pretty good. I think my disconfort last week came from me not taking a day off after the day last Sunday. I underestimated how hard I ran on Sunday. I should I have gone for a recovery run instead of running 12 miles on Monday.

I did about the same in this as in my last marathon.  I was really hoping for improvement so I am a little bummed out. Perhaps, the six weeks of running during training time bc of my injury affected my performance.  Anyway, trying to let it go and focus on starting new training in a month for marathon in six months...
