3:25, 3:15, sub 3:00 marathon? The sky's the limit! I want to see how fast I can get! :)

Personal:

I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races.

Resting hr 42

Another 6 mile run in the books! My hamstrings and calves are still tight but less than yesterday. I went for an easy pace pushing to mild hamstring discomfort rather than searing pain. That ended up being 8:28 min/mi AP, and another negative split run even though effort felt the same with the exception of the last mile (I felt good so picked it up). Paces were: 8:56, 8:38, 8:42, 8:29, 8:13, and 7:50. I'm really happy about this. The effort felt like recovery pace which was 9:15 min/mi for me before my stress fracture.

Finished with 45 mins weights, tried to focus on my hammies and calves a little more without overly loading (we will find out tomorrow!). Then did 6 mins continuous planks (rotating flat, and sides) and burnt out my abs with a 3x35 abmat sit-ups. I love how my abs look at the end of this! Haha.

I'm looking forward to Saturday! I'm going to attempt a 9 mile long run in Chicago with my best running friend! We have a Kara-Shalane relationship and haven't run together since early April. This is a much needed and deserved weekend. :)
