3.2 miles, 20mph SE wind, 70 degrees and humid. I was intending to do speedwork but the wind was not cooperating! I did do a few intervals and just did more of a tempo run otherwise. With the wind it was quite a hard run and I also discovered that my legs were still tired from the 12 miler on Sunday. |

| | 5 miles during son's soccer practice. Calm wind, 79 degrees. I was looking over my stats and here's a funny one, you can see where my speed dipped which coincided with the three separate geese that were in my path. One was angry and did a little chasing - so I also got in one round of speed work! :-) I am happy to note that I ran very easily at my half marathon pace. |

Fast miles. Temp was perfect though the wind was a bit strong (15mph) SE. |

13 miles this morning, 61 degrees and cloudy. Wind 8mph.
First time I've done 13, it's nice to know that I'll be able to complete my 1/2 marathon on June 3rd. Everything from the waist down though hurts or aches! Time today was 2:08 and I was running easy but I did struggle the last 1 1/2 miles. I wonder if I'll be able to complete the half in 2:00 or less?? According to my 5k time I should but I don't know.....today was hard! |

This was supposed to be a 5.5 mile run but my legs were feeling very tired and heavy right from the start. Not sure why....unless maybe the longer runs are now catching up with me? I'm on my third week of 20+ weekly miles....maybe that's it? This weekend I step back a little and don't run another 13 miler until next Thursday. After that I'll begin my taper... |

| | Miles felt good today! 65 degrees, sunny, wind was calm for the most part, but it was picking up towards the end. It was nice to have a good feeling run... |

What a lousy run! 4:30a, body felt uncoordinated and I seemed to be working harder than normal. To top it all off I miscalculated and was half a mile short on what I wanted to do. Maybe I should stick to cross-training in the wee hours.... |

| | 3.1 measly miles. I was supposed to run 8 or 10 but my knee was acting up right away and since I have a race coming up June 3rd I decided to baby it. 13 mile run this weekend that I can't miss - I hope I don't wreck my knee! |

5.1 miles, 20mph NW wind. Great run in spite of the wind! First three miles were right around 8:30, then the last two were around 9:00 because I was running against the wind. Oh, 61 degrees.
My first half marathon is June 3rd and when I started my training plan I was intending to try and finish in around 2 hrs. However, I think that I'm going to need to adjust my expectations and be satisfied with 2:05. A little disappointing but for my first one maybe not to bad a time.....does anyone have any advice for running my first half? |

Short run and it was so nice and cool that I decided to do intervals. This was one of the good nights - running felt effortless. :-) |
