Sasha is still out of town so I decieded to go a little longer on my own today. Also want to keep the miles up this week but be ready to run decent in the 1/2 marathon on Saturday. So I figure I will hit some higher mileage runs early in the week and then back off just a little before Saturday. Overall the legs are still pretty sore and tired. I guess the hiking on Friday and Saturday were more work on my legs than I thought. I started slow and tried to pick it up as I ran. I ended up running the last 5 miles in 6:35-45 pace. Overall average for the whole run was 6:59 pace. Ok for a Monday morning run on sore legs. My left knee is still bugging me a bit from the adventure race bike crashes. I can really feel it the first mile or so and then it does not bug me as much after that. Hopefully it will go away over the next week or so. For those interested the local masters family won the masters in both male and female at the Carlsbad 5K this weekend. Dennis ran 14:55 and Michelle ran 17:03! Link to article is below.
