Morning ran 5.5 with the dog. He's really getting into this running, and can't wait till I wake up in the mornings. He gets all excited and wants to go every morning. I wanted the rest of the run to be finished under the 7 minute mile guy and I did it. I averaged 6:58 per mile. Total miles 9. I do still have a little bit of soreness on the inside of my thigh from the marathon, but nothing that's affecting my running.
Lunch: 5.3 miles at a 6:18 pace. Each mile I dropped the pace until the last mile and did a cool down (6:39, 6:34, 6:12, 5:37, and 6:26). This was a very hilly course and my effort felt fairly easy in 82 degrees which surprised me. I ran with my new shoes the Ohana Asics Racers for the first time and I love them. They fit awesome and really make me feel light on my feet. I still haven't decided if I'm going to run the Des. News marathon or not.
