REST, REST and REST!! That's exactly what I did this week! It felt good to be able to sleep in every morning and not have to get up at 5 a.m. for an early run. I rested the entire week. On Saturday I ran a local 5k and was happy with my time. I will be taking it easy this week as well as I get ready for the Atlanta Half-Marathon.
Here are this week's results:
Monday: REST
Tuesday: REST
Wednesday: REST
Thursday: REST
Friday: REST
Saturday: 5k Race/20:43/L1-6:44/L2-6:20/L3-7:39
Sunday: 4 mi/32:21/L1-16:26/L2-15:54
Mileage=7.1
I am happy with my training this week. This week I am planning to run once or twice before the Atlanta Half on Thursday. I am not quite sure how I will tackle the half. Seeing that I ran a pretty hard 5k, I am considering taking it easy in the half. I have been noticing some increasing pain in my calfs and I am not sure as to why. I would like to believe it is coming from the marathon. The pain is not over-bearing or anything, but it is noticeable.
I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving this week!
Grateful!

Nothing better than a good run! I've been running for over 30 years and find myself enjoying it more every run. Running marathons is a thing of the past for me. I'm extremely proud to have been able to complete 14 marathons. These days, my goals have changed and I have enjoyed running 1 1/2 marathon a month. Woot! Running 3-4 times a week is good enough. Spending time with my wife and kiddos, Juliana(14) and Jessa(13) are priority for me these days. GR8FL!
