Early run with Becca. I had to get done before Teren left for scout camp. My legs had some sore spots that didn't feel great today. I thought I was recovering pretty well, but maybe not as quickly as I thought. I will stretch and roll out and hopefully feel better tomorrow. 7:27 average.

Fartlek workout in Murray Park with Becca. I wanted something with some hills. 2.3 mile warm up. 3 x 1-2-3-2-1 minutes with 1-1-2-1-1 recovery. Ended with a climb up the "Snake" for an extra good time. My legs are still feeling the race, especially a spot in my right quad that has me a little concerned. I may have to back down from my original training plan. Cooled down to ten.

Midweek Mid-long. 12.5. Down to the JRT and 9 with Becca and home.

Maybe a second run today? Maybe not.

Tried out my new racing shoes. Saucony Fastwitch. I think we have a keeper. Sore spot in my right quad is gone! Thank goodness. Long run tomorrow!

20 miles. 6:57 average. Ran with Nan, Jocelyn and Angie. Tried to knock it down to 6:10's the last few miles, but didn't really have the legs for it. Still a really strong run. Nan is such a beast.

I thought my legs would be completely trashed this morning. I was really depleted after yesterday. But, I bounced back surprisingly well today. I only needed 7 to finish up 70 miles this week. I met Becca at Murray and we ran to Wheeler Farm. She was finishing a 16 miler and needed eight more. I just ran the eight with her and actually felt really strong after a few miles. 7:25 average.
