In addition to the suggestions made already re: doing a dynamic warm-up and also a cool-down, you may want to consider getting a foam roller. I have a TriggerPoint, but there are lots of other kinds out there, easy to google. Regular foam rolling will do wonders.

Given you're a light runner, may want to consider Saucony Kinvara. I also like New Balance 890s, my go to marathon training shoe(I'm neutral mid-foot striker).

Half Marathon PR of 1:46:36 (next goal sub 1:45) and full marathon PR of 3:50:52 (next goal 3:40 and a Boston Qualifier).

5/24 - 2 5/26 - 11.2 5/27 - 1.7 (incl 2700 vertical ft) MTD - 85

8 miles yesterday. Also realized that I apparently can't do simple math, so my previous MTD totals were off. After yesterday's run, I should be at 70 MTD.

6 - 05/20 9 - 05/21 MTD - 65 miles.

6 miles this morning - first post-marathon run and legs feel great. 50 MTD.
