Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
5.00	0.00	5.00

Recovery run + core conditioning.

5:16 am, 39°F, 42% humidity, wind 7 SSW.

How to ensure that you run a recovery run at a very slow pace: run 14 miles less than 12 hours before.

AP: 10:38. Splits: 11:09, 10:40, 10:21, 10:26, 10:35.

The last two miles were in Vibram Five Fingers.

I'm going to change up my training plan for the rest of the week. The book says 11 miles on Thursday and 7 miles with strides on Friday, then 21 miles on Saturday. Instead, I'm going to do the 7 miles with strides on Thursday, do 5 miles recovery like today on Friday, and then try to run fast in a half marathon on Saturday.

I was done with my run in time to drive to seminary this morning, but the boy is not going to school because he is sick. So I'm slightly ahead of schedule so far this morning.

Nike Lunarracer Miles: 3.00	Vibram Five Fingers Miles: 2.00

Night Sleep Time: 6.00	Nap Time: 0.00	Total Sleep Time: 6.00

Your adjustment sounds like a very good plan if you want to run a fast half marathon on Saturday. I am green with envy at your success with easy pace. We will probably racing at the same time on Saturday. My race starts at 8. I think you will finish first, though!

What book are you using? Nice run. Good luck on your half! :)

Auntieem, my race doesn't start until 10:00, which would be 9:00 your time. Is this your 50K? If so, then you'll still be running when I run my race.

Callie, I'm using Advanced Marathoning by Pete Pfitzinger.

Good plan--I wish you a fast 1/2 marathon.

You are going to have a great race... I can't wait to hear about it... Just wish I could be there.

From Michelle on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 18:04:51 from 75.171.182.27

I am glad you could enjoy a short and slow recovery run. I think you will be faster then you think on Saturday.

From RAD on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 18:37:37 from 67.172.229.125

I like the adjustment! I'm with Michelle, you'll be a speedy one on Saturday. Nice job on the recovery today - even after the late long run!

Good job getting out for a few miles on such a short turn around.

Good plan for the week. Good luck in the half Saturday. My brother Chad (on the blog) will be running also. Wish I was going.

From auntieem on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 20:29:24 from 67.182.146.94

HaHa, yes I'll still be running. My race starts at 8:00, and I'll probably finish by 2:00 or 3:00. Top finishers in my age group for the last two years are 5:56 and 6:25. So when you are finished, enjoying your finish, remember I'll still be slogging away!

From april27 on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 20:58:20 from 99.188.251.180

I"m jealous that you get to split up that 21 miles with a race!

From Toby on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 22:30:22 from 216.194.124.36

Hooray for a race! I always love to be ahead in the day's schedule!
