Running With LeMire

5 easy miles this morning before work. After Saturday's hard run I think I may have sat down for 45 minutes total the rest of the day finishing off the playground construction, buying patio furniture and playing with the kids. Around 8:30pm they went to bed and that was the first time a sat down in which it was time that I was putting food in my mouth. Oh, wait I didn't even eat lunch just breakfast after the run then dinner around 6. What a crazy day but good one.

Started off at 8:22 for the first mile and then finished off the run with a 7:32/mi average. Not to bad of a run. If only I could find time to add in speed and strength workouts to get faster. I have been hoovering around this pace for some time now and want to get faster.

5 easy miles this morning. IT rained pretty hard last night which made this morning very humid which is a very different feeling then what Arizona provided the last 7 years. It will be interesting to see how the humidity works on my body after being away from it for so long. Tomorrow we are going to run the Hospital Hill Half Marathon course in preperation for the June 7th race. Should be interesting and give me a good idea of what I can run in two weeks. I haven't been running any sprint workouts so we'll see how it goes.

Went and ran the Hospital Hill course with a couple of the guys from the run group and felt the pain of the hills that is to come on June 7th. I don't think this will be a PR type of course so the question is how will I attack the very difficult Halh Marathon course. I'm thinking I'll take off a bit on the easy side then see how I feel at the half way point and pick it up from there. If I break 1:30 I would be happy with this course. There are a couple short steep hills and some vary long ones. The longest hill is 1.8 miles long that starts at about the 9.5 mile mark. At mile 11.5 there is a really steep short hill then downhill the rest of the way that seems easy but it is dangerously downhill that you could bite it if not carefull!   We'll see how it goes June 7th!
