Running To Beat Mark

First things first the marathon can humble you. I was so humbled I am not even listing this as a race report. Weather did not cool down and the wind was over twenty mph for the majority of the run. I didnt ever feel good but I was still on pace for the first half 1:35ish, and then truly fell apart. My second half was in 2:26 and I ended up with a 4:01. I am a little disappointed but I am not too disappointed since my wife had a PR! She broke four hours! So i am very proud of her! 

Three miles easy with the track team tonight, they had a good laugh at how hard it was for me and the other coach (he did the half marathon yesterday) to keep up with them. 

5k loop tonight easy, at least it was supposed to be but I wore my watch and that led me to run faster than I should have. The weather has been perfect for running ever since the marathon so it has been hard to rest.

Tonight I also decided my next race is going to be a 10k in June so planning to work on some more speed this next month.

Four miles easy today.

I was hoping to get mile repeats in tonight but with a meeting did not have enough time.  Instead did a fast two mile

 One mile warmup, first mile in 5:50 into a 20mph headwind. On the second mile I was flying downwind and ended up with a 4:51. I thought this had to be too fast and in fact it was short it was only .98 of a mile, still would have been sub 5 if it was a full mile though. Total time was 10:41 so my fastest two mile (1.96mi) in a while. One mile cooldown to get to four miles for the day. 

Half mile warmup then drills. Shorter intervals tonight 30 second 10kpace followed by 30 seconds mile pace. 2 sets of 4 each. Half mile cooldown 

Traveled to South Dakota tonight, so Ill have some different scenery on the run tomorrow. 

3 miles with emaurine this morning. Then did two more. Watched part of a marathon/half this morning, wish i entered much more fun running than watching.
