The Next Step

Had a little time this afternoon so was able to get in a short run.  It was cool (38) and windy.  Missing the Hawaii weather.  I felt good and decided to pick up the last little bit to around MP.  Ran the last 1.5 at around 7:15 pace.  Felt good to pick it up some but still being consertitive.

It was cool (44) with light wind.  Ran over to the park and did a few loops.  Felt good today and wanted to stretch out the distance to try to get my long runs up quickly to prepare for the marathon.  Today was the first step to make sure the hamstring would hold up.  No problems so I was thankful for that and will try to keep building up over the next few weeks.

It was cold (36) and windy.  Today was just a super easy day after the longish run yesterday.  Trying to rest the hamstring and make it to the starting line next month.  Legs felt good and no problems.

NIce day with temp in high 40's but windy.  Felt good today.  Started off real easy and then picked up the pace after a couple of miles.  Had some tightness in my hamstring but nothing too bad.  Just trying to hold it together.

Nice day with temp around 48 but still windy.  I really don't like the wind but I guess that comes with living in Indiana this time of year.  Felt good today and took it easy.  Continuing with the plan of these short recovery days.  Seems to be working so far.

Pretty nice morning. It was really windy though and felt colder than it was.  I felt tired this morning.  My daughter is in from college so didn't have as much time so will try to get in my long run on Monday.
