I have a half marathon in a couple of weeks.  I guess I ought to try to get ready for it.  Running was difficult, but the lower body workout this morning contributed.  Shins are still tight.  I don't know about this.

Core workout.

30 min on stationary bike at 90+ rpm.   HR around 160 and then dropping to low 150's.

I am really sore from yesterday. 

Upper body workout.

3 miles slow around the neighborhood.  I felt a lot better running today.  Of course, I wasn't pushing it at all.  Just ran at recovery pace.  I felt like I could just keep going when I was done--which is good because I need to up the mileage tomorrow.  I'm thinking about 6.  Maybe 8?  I have a 1/2 in two weeks so I need to do something significant.

I think I'm going to stay at the easy pace until the race and then just see what happens. 

Did an easy four mile loop twice.  I didn't really want to do the crazy hills on my normal 8 mile route so I kept it close to home.  Plus, the loop gave me the ability to drop the mileage if I wasn't feeling good.  I did feel good, though.  It was good to run some distance.  I felt better about doing the half in two weeks.  It would have been tough today.  I know I could have done one more loop, but it would have been difficult and I don't think I'd feel very good after.  A couple of weeks of training ought to make a big difference, though.
