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. |

| My first trail run! Oh my, it was sooo much fun!! I started out kinda slow, but my legs seemed to loosen up on my runs. I was surprised to get back to my pre-marathon pace towards the end of my run this soon after getting back to running post-marathon!! So excited!!! |

| Took it easy this run around after my trail run yesterday. My legs felt mostly great. I wore my Mizuno's I marathoned in. I'm thinking they are shot. I had some knee discomfort, I think the cushioning is too worn. Regardless, it felt great to get in my longest run post-marathon!! |

Running around Chi, Crossfit, running to lunch with my beaux. :) First Crossfit session in 2 weeks! Funny, at the beginning of class the coach mentioned how he had to take a month off working out because of injury and that he could lift more after taking that time off. So what do I do? I crush my WOD and came in first place for the class! Well, I did use lower weights, gotta baby these legs the first couple sessions back! pre-WOD: 400 m run 30 burpees WOD (for time): 400 m run 40 wall balls (10#) 400 m run 40 situps 400 m run 40 push press (35#) 400 m run 40 walking lunges 400 m run Time: 17:02 Post-WOD: 5 mins of plank PM: Spin class. Wow, my legs are coming back! I still can't push them 100% but I feel like they're up to 70% from 40% at spin last week. :)

| AM: Bikram. So much "easier" than last week!! Ahhh, it feels good to stretch the legs. My balance was a lot better. Not like it was yet, but I'm recovering rapidly! PM: Lakefront jaunt. Out against the wind, back with the wind. Ran at a pace that felt good. It happened to be sub-9s for every mile! AP: 8:40 min/mi. Usually sub-9's don't feel comfortable to me until a month before a marathon!!! And to think, I'm STILL recovering and have an entire summer ahead to train for Steamtown!!! :) |

| Trail run in FL. Pretty hot, but a lot of fun! I had to slow down for part of the trail, I felt like crocodile Dundie outrunning the alligators! AP wasn't that great, 9:20 min/mi. I'm still recovering from the marathon. It is a lot faster than my easy pace when I got back into training in February though! |

| Long run in FL. It was hot! 84F when I finished. Pretty good AP considering, 9:02 min/mi. My first few miles were incredibly slow, and then I realized I was running against the wind. Haha. My last couple miles were an 8:30 min/mi pace. Felt pretty good! I don't feel recovered enough for speed workouts, but then again, I'm not sure how "recovered" you should feel. I want to maintain the strength I gained from the hilly marathon, but I don't want to push too soon and ruin my training season! |
