I decided not to run the Riverwoods Half this morning, my heart was saying yes but my body was saying NO! I think I made the right decision, I just dont think I would have benefited from so i didn't run it... Instead I ran out towards pretty little hill, I did that twice and it is alot hillier than what I remember, I did it both ways so I had some hills in there today along with some flatter area's. My average pace was 9:30 with my heart rate at 134(Best yet for that pace) total time was 1:16:38 I had a negative split on the way back and I think that was toughest of the two section's that I ran so that was a good sign still not very fast though. But that's okay at least I was able to run 6 days this week so I will not complain!

See ya Monday!

I agree you made the wise decision today Clay. There are plenty more races in your future so wise to not jump in too soon. Good job on your running this week.
