Wednesday - 3 miles (9:22)
Thursday - 4 miles (9:20) ; 5 miles (9:26)
Friday - Travel Day - no running.
Saturday - 4 miles (9:15)
Sunday - 1.25 miles (9:22) warmup ; 13.1 miles (8:28). I ran the Route 66 half marathon in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I was really hoping to get sub 1:38 by starting out at a 7:35 pace and trying to work lower in the second half. My left leg had been getting progressively worse since the Nashville 10 mile race two weeks ago and that combined with some loss of conditioning made this a tough race for me, setting for a 1:50:53 time. I completed the first mile at 7:37 just where I wanted to be, but there were a lot more hills that I was expecting in the first half and they took their toll on me and I just didn't have that killer instinct to finish strong. Legs felt pretty heavy and I could feel the left leg on the second half of the race.
Weekly Total : 50.4 miles. I had an easier week to get ready for the half marathon on Sunday. With the sore leg and travel on Friday, I didn't get in the 8 miles that I was originally planning for and I scrapped the second run on Wednesday after the massage left me a bit sore. The left leg is pretty sore on Monday morning and I may not get to run today, but will be looking to get the left leg healthy as soon as I can.
