My left leg is still bothering me quite a bit. Strangely after 3-4
miles the pain almost goes away and I can get into nice pace and form.
I don't think I should do such a long warm up before a half. I hope
that the sound of the gun and the crowds will carry me in the first few
miles and the pain will prevent me from starting too hard and then
after these first miles I will be able to speed up and get into a good
pace. Also I have 2 weeks till the race so things can change (for good
hopefully). So today I went for a 12 miles run in 40F, rain and
wind at 7:30AM. Not your optimal conditions.I did 4 miles slow then 4
miles fast at about HM pace and then 4 more miles slow. Here are my
splits: first 4 miles: 8:22,8:21,8:18,8:15 middle 4 miles: 7:50, 7:38, 7:48, 7:44 last 4 miles: 8:21, 8:09, 8:25, 8:03
