Running 1:28:51 [3] 19.25 km (4:37 / km) +50m 4:33 / km
shoes: Brooks Ghost 2011
Almost pulled a rest day but glad I went out - not quite pain free yet but the least pain running since last few days of June. Also helped by the fact the swelling and bruising on my lower left leg (from Day 4) is almost gone - just a little bit of heat and soreness still at the impact point.
So not entirely coincidentally this was the first run in nearly seven weeks when I have actually felt able to pick up the pace a bit. Also quite pleasing given that I was struggling a bit by the end of the long run two days ago - could still feel a bit of heaviness/tightness in my quads from that today. Ran strongly but fairly comfortably at a little slower than marathon pace, just eased off a little at the end as core tightened up slightly.
Still plenty of work to do, but definitely some positive signs today :)
