I'm pretty sore today from yesterday. I guess that's because I hadn't run very much in the two weeks previous, so that 18 miler really got to me. I think I'll feel just fine by tomorrow though and should be able to have a good week to prepare for the half marathon. My cold is finally going away, so I should be completely healthy in that regard by the time Saturday rolls around.

I was still pretty sore from my Saturday run, so I tried to take this pretty slow, and ended up running at 7:23/mi pace. I'm trying not to overtrain.....

I felt pretty good today, so I just did a good long run, not too slow, not too fast, and it felt good. Still a little sore.

This run was slow because I was tired from yesterday. I ran 7:37/mi pace. I'm really concerned about overtraining.

Another slow day because I don't want to be tired for my race on Saturday. 7:48/mi pace.

Ran really slowly today just to keep my legs loose and get ready for tomorrow. I'm excited for the race!

Today was the Utah Valley Half Marathon. I ended up in 24th place overall, but first in my age group, so that was pretty cool. I averaged 6:12 per mile, and I'm happy with that considering I still have almost three months to prepare for the full marathon. I thought I was going to slow way down at about the seven mile mark, but I kept pushing it and it turned out pretty well. I'm happy with my race, and now I can look forward to the 10k on July 4th.
