Comments: Week 26 (of 26) begins! ✅ Did 2 of the 4 things I should always do--skipping two due to shorter time/distance: 1) Garmin HRM-Pro Plus Heart Rate Monitor; 2) Anti-chafing; 3) NipEaze; and 4) Sunblock ✅ Listened to an audiobook. Right glut (butt) is hurting tonight off and on. Took ibuprofen. Initially thought today (Monday) was an off day as usually a cross-training (XT) day. However, it is tapering week before the marathon, so today is 40 minutes, and Tuesday is off. Due to work, I delayed the run until late afternoon and it got hot. 🥵 A breeze helped, as did shade. I slowed on the way back. Still does not feel real I am running a marathon on Sunday. I have run two marathons already in the last 2 months, but this represents one I have trained for. Two more maintenance runs and then the race. 👀
Any irregular feelings, aches, pains, heart rate, and so forth?: Right glut strained
