I have finally put together a single week worthy of a blog post. A momentary break in the winter weather allowed for some good running days last week. Surprisingly, my pace has not suffered drastically from the lack of January activity. I started with the 'ole faithful 5k route on Monday. It went great, but I forgot to stretch out adequately after the run. Ashley joined me on Wednesday and helped me trot out the soreness from Monday's three-miler. I polished that off with a 10k on Saturday under beautiful skies. The half marathon training program suggested an 8 miler this weekend for the long run. Ashley knocked that out, but I am still building back up to the long distance weekend run. All signs are encouraging at this point. Minimal pain and soreness from past injuries is a green light to further half marathon training.
March madness is almost upon us. Madness? THIS IS RUNNING!!!!!!
