I am not sure why but I did gain several pounds over the past week. I will closely monitor it the next few days.
Recall last week I ran the 4+ in 47:59, today I ran it in today
Four Plus 48:33
Plus I had only 1 stop so it is worse than it looks. I did do a a warm up lap and cool down lap, I started at 3:30 and ended at 4:49:20, round it up to 80 minutes and my average is under 12 minutes at 11.72 minutes. So maybe I did get a better overall.
Next weekend I have Linuxfest to attend. I will be working out earlier and may call next week Saturday and do a heavy workout on Friday which will include a 4+. I am considering the route I ran today as a new timed route forcing me to run longer to get my body ready for the marathon.
Next time I willl try to be aware and not eat before my run.
