Running Log April 24 - April 30

Monday: 1.5 miles (10:49).  A quick run before heading to London Heathrow Airport for the flight back home.
Tuesday: 2 miles (10:38).  Easy, slow recovery run back home in Hendersonville.
Wednesday: 3 miles (9:03).  Legs starting to feel better after Sunday's marathon.
Thursday: 3 miles (8:50), 3 miles (9:15).  Two easy 3 mile runs as my legs continue to improve from Sunday's marathon.
Friday: 2 miles (9:55), 3 miles (9:13)..  Getting humid outside!  Going to be a tough run on Saturday at the Rock and Roll Half Marathon.  I wanted to switch to the FULL, but it's going to be too warm. Easy two miles outside at lunch time and then 3 miles on the Treadmill before heading to the expo.
Saturday: 13.1 miles (11:03).  Nashville Rock and Roll Half Marathon. Definitely the warmest and most humid half marathon I have raced. I started out running 5 minutes and walking 1 minute, but this quickly changed to walking whenever I felt like it and walking most of the last 3 miles.  I just wanted to finish before Scott Wietecha finished the marathon, and I beat him by 16 minutes, LOL.  2:24 for me and 2:40 for Scott.
Sunday: 5 miles (9:53), 5 miles (9:19).  Ran 5 miles downtown from the Westin hotel and it felt like yesterday, warm and humid.  Second run late afternoon on the treadmill felt nice and smooth in the indoor controlled weather environment.

Total Miles: 40.6.  Not a bad mileage total coming off an International Marathon with only 3.5 miles total on Monday and Tuesday.  Seeing some great performances in the marathon yesterday in that heat has me starting to get motivated to start boosting the mileage.  We'll see if that can work out.
