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 beats a good run! I’ve been running for over 30 years, and somehow I enjoy it more with every mile. Marathon days are behind me now, but I’m incredibly proud to have completed 14 marathons over the years. These days, my goals have shifted, and I’ve really enjoyed running one half marathon each month — woot! Running 3–4 times a week feels just right. Most importantly, spending time with my wife and my girls, Juliana (16) and Jessa (14), is my greatest priority these days. GR8FL!
