Tues. April 17 - Back at It

Weekly Mileage: 8 (1 day)

Workout
Easy 8 miles
4x100

Breakdown
Went out to Moraine and ran the first six miles with Becky at around 7:45 pace. Still definitely not feeling great after the 14 mile run on Sunday, but felt good to get out and shake out the legs a bit. Becky is a lot more fit than she thinks she is. I wouldnt have run much faster today if she wasn't there, but having someone to run with has been a blessing on some of these days. I finished my last two miles in around 7:00 pace on the cinder trail and closed with four strides.

Shoes
Asics Kayano 18

Bumps and Bruises
My body is feeling the toll of the last two weeks of really hard training, which is to be expected. I have easy runs all week this week with one hard workout, so that will be nice. Only a 10 mile run this weekend and then its full taper for two weeks until race day. I should be ready.


Other Junk
Snuck out tonight for a rare Tuesday night beer with Becky, who turned 22 at midnight. First time I have drank a beer on a Tuesday in a long time! But it was worth it to thank her for everything this semester. Happy Birthday Becky!
