Training 4-26 to 5-2

4/26 Monday: 7 miles in 53 minutes

First day back at work in almost 3 weeks. It was nice to get out on the trails for some running during the day. Leg still feel like crap.

4/27 Tuesday: 10 miles in 71 minutes

Rattlesnake Hill Loop. Felt ok, but the legs still feel heavy.

4/28 Wednesday: 7 miles in 53 minutes

Treadmill run at home. Yes I am a wuss. It was cold and wet by the time I got around to running. So I stayed inside.

4/29 Thursday: AM: 8 miles in 55 minutes PM: 5 miles in 38 minutes

AM: Legs felt much better today. Did 8 x 20 second strides during end of run.

PM: Easy run from home with Heather. Very windy out there.

4/30 Friday: 7 miles in 52 minutes

Awesome day out there. Felt ok today, did half the run on the Shawsheen river trails.

5/1 Saturday: 9.3 miles in 65 minutes

Ran the Footbridge 5k up in Dover, NH. Did the course as a warm up with Heather and a bunch of CMS guys, then ran 16:13 for 4th place, then another 3 miles of cool down with the same crew. Full race report to follow soon.

5/2 Sunday: 16.3 miles in 115 minutes

Got out for a nice long run today. Felt real good and smooth. Started out real easy around 7:15 pace and held it for the first 10 miles. Then I let myself roll a bit more and ran some miles at 6:50 down to 6:24 for the last mile. Got hot out there towards the end, but over all it was a very nice run.

Total Miles: 69.6

Great week of running! Hope to put in a few more miles next week. Finally starting to feel good and motivated again.
