5 and 5: Annoying warmth to rain.

Yesterday I ran 5 miles and it was sunny in the upper 70s at the time. Today I ran 5 miles in the rain and driving wind. Today was a better run.  

5 and 13: Fading.

Thursday of last week I ran 5 and then Sunday I ran 13. Took some time off to let my legs get better.

Doing a 5 later today, will see how that goes.

13.1: Fold it in Half

Today I ran the 4 Bridges half marathon (2:14). I was signed up for the full but that was not happening as my legs (mainly quads) are sore (from the Two Bear?).

I decided around mile 9 to do the half this year. Once I made that call I picked up the pace and ran the last 4 at a good sub-marathon pace.  This was a good pace training run for the Philly Marathon. The good thing about switching to the half is I should be able to run this week and do a 20 mile training run in the next two weeks.

Monday and Wednesday: 3 miles (roughly) each.

Monday and Wednesday I ran about 3 miles each day. My legs were sore and I was giving them time off.

3 miles Thursday and 9 Saturday

I ran 3 at night the other day and 9 this morning. The nine this morning were good pace wise but my legs are just not right. This next marathon should be interesting.

5.5 miles Friday, 5 miles Monday and 12.2 today: Trashed

I have little idea why but my legs are trashed. My running is not getting better, the last few runs have all been on sore legs. Today I thought might go better since I took two days off but not so.

Not sure if I need to run more or less, I'll likely go with less since I'm close to the next marathon already.

11.8 miles Sat, 4.5 miles Mon, 6 miles Tue and 10 miles today

I have been slacking on updating my running blog.

I've done a bunch of below average runs lately, today's run was a bit better. The key will be the ~20 mile run this weekend.
