Tue. April 3 - Another Great Day

Weekly Mileage: 15 (2 days)

Workout
8 miles

Breakdown
Went out to Moraine State Park today after work to get an easy 8-miler in. Ran the first 5 miles with Becky, the wonderful intern that has been working with me all semester. She is running the half marathon too (and she is going to do pretty darn well). We ran on the bike trail at around a 7:35 pace.

I went an additional 3 miles on the cinder part of the North Country Trail and picked up up to around 6:55 pace. Felt great. Legs were a little tired, but nothing real sore and no real issues. Got a little dehydrated toward the end, so I need to keep reminding myself to smash water during the days.

Weather was perfect again today. Sunny, light breeze and upper 50s. I wish it would stay like this all the time.

Had to come right into the office to write a lacrosse story as soon as we got back from the park, so its a good thing I had a balance bar with me. Going to grab some dinner and get a good stretch tonight before bed to get ready for a tough workout tomorrow.

Shoes
Nike Lunarfly 3

Up Next
Hard workout tomorrow is going to be a 2 mile warmup, four by 1 mile at 5k pace (5:45-55) and a 1 mile cooldown. Easy 7 or 8 miles Thursday morning or afternoon before track meet and lacrosse game that evening. Super easy 4 or 5 miles Friday and a 12 miler Saturday. Looking into a flat, cinder place to start doing my long runs to get off the pavement and concrete.

Time for dinner!
