AM Long Run:  75 degrees and Sunny

In hopes of being able to run Sunburst Marathon on June 1, as well as feeling like I had been taking it too easy lately, I got the itch to attempt a long run today and the 8 mi. +15k group run tomorrow.  A last ditch effort to get some good volume work for June 1 marathon, since I found out recently that it might still be a possibility. 

20 mi. course - from the house, out to Harrison Lakes, several loops around the lakes up to 14 mi. and then back home for the 20 - around 7:45's the whole way - pretty even pace on a fairly hilly course.  -- 2:34:53

PM: 75 degrees and overcast - easy to moderate pace throughout - again, really going for volume this week.  Ran from house over to soccer fields and back.  Thought I'd really be feeling the mileage at this point... not yet :)

The run going out to the soccer fields was neg. splits, but didn't quit make it down to MP: 8:23, 7:35, 7:26, 7:26, 7:19, 7:06, 7:00, 6:57

 Trip back was solid mod. pace, fairly consistent, and big confidence builder with the quantity of volume recently: 7:27, 7:23, 7:10, 7:03, 7:12, 7:04, 7:10, 7:10

15.41mi. - 1:52:39

PM: Easy day/XT: 1 mi. jog, about 20 minutes on the bike, and some core/leg work.  Pretty sore left hammie - I think the volume work caught up with me.

PM - 65 degrees and overcast - bike ride/XT 

17 mi. on the bicycle - 1:05 - I put a decent effort forth to go this slow.  Light core and light leg work.  The left hammie is hurting to run on, still.  Hopefully not an issue today with almost 2 full days off running.
