Went out for an early morning walk and ended up running most of it- still had some energy after Saturdays race. Put in 7 1/2 miles and felt pretty good. The upper quads and lower calves are a bit sore but what should I expect after a half marathon with 2400 foot drop?!?!?

Need to ease back into things this week and hope that the race was a positive for my upcoming marathon in less than 2 weeks!

Tacked on another 2 miles with my wife, daughter and dog- very easy

19 mile bike ride at 16.5 mph shaking the legs out after getting a good massage last evening. Legs are starting to come back. Will run 8 tomorrow, bike Thursday, short run of 4 Friday and probably 10-13 on Saturday-

Consistent run around Bloomington Drive @ 8:18 pace. Not running for speed...just trying to keep the breathing easy and the legs moving without taking walk breaks. Perfect temps this morning-62 degrees 

Went out to give my quads a workout using the bike- 11 mile push, they feel like they have had a good workout!

Slept in today- I just ran up the road a bit and turned around. Left foot was feeling a bit bruised so I decided not to do anything today- I did go in to have an injection of cortisone in both feet, from the top between the toes. Nice long needle---- that was pleasant! NOT Hopefully this will help with the neuromas that kick in around mile 19 or so. It seemed to work last year.

I will see how the foot is feeling in the morning for the Swiss Days 5k

Went out this morning hoping that a 19:59 was in reach for the Swiss Days 5k...not so.

Had a hard night with reflux so I didn't sleep well and the throat was still suffering a bit. I had a hard time getting the breathing going- I could tell after 3/4 mile that it wasn't going to be the day to break 20. That's okay, it was still fun and I ended up 1st in the age group. I ran 27 seconds slower than last year, I was in much better condition then. I think I was also feeling the effects of the half marathon from last week. I couldn't get the legs to move fast.

Well off to Hawaii for 4 days- we shall see how that affects the legs with the long flights and also trying to keep that weight done-

Next up: St. George Marathon
