I got out and ran last night. I was thinking on doing a mile warm up followed by some marathon pace miles until I got tired. I did my warm up mile, 8:00 then ran 3 miles at 6:50. Half way through mile 3 I could tell I was having to push so I stopped running marathon pace after that mile and went back to an 8 min mile. Total run 5 miles, 36:30.

I was suprised how sore my calfs were from Sat.'s 5K. This morning they are still hurting pretty good. I never remember being sore at all after a 5K. I guess that is what I get for not preparing for it properly.

Cumulus Miles: 5.00

Hey you might be sore because you have never run a 5K that fast before you did pr right!

I hope you join us at painter have you registered yet?

I think I will run Painter's. Finances would be the only thing to stop me. We are just finishing up a master suite remodel that was initially budgeted at $40,000 and now is up to $55,000 and today the contractor threw on another $2,000 which I am going to fight since it is things he never informed me of. Anyways, as long as I can afford it, I'll be there. I went to the web page today and I have until Jan 9 for early registration, so I can wait and see a bit.

Nice "recovery run". Isn't that what we're supposed to do after a hard workout or race? What were you doing gunning for marathon pace runs? Just kidding :) I'll bet the soreness in your calfs are gone by now.

Yikes, $55 grand for the remodeling. We're thinking about doing the same for our master suite. We thought it might be around $10,000. Good, may be that'll scare hubby off. We're almost done with the improvements of the two bedrooms downstairs, finishing up a few of the projects that were started over the last five years. Home improvements just stress me out.

I haven't signed up for Painter's either. I'm just dragging my feet these days.

I havent signed up yet for Painters too. But glad to hear everyone talking about it. As for the soreness I am sure it is the PR and the hill climb you had to do. It was a good workout. You earned that soreness. Keep it up.
