4/4 - 4/16 Recap
Recap of the last two weeks:
4/4 - Tempo Run - 28:45; not my best or worst effort, but a good baseline to see where I am.
4/6 - Recovery run at home; 4.76 miles at home.
4/7 - Long run up Exposition across 35th street and up Shoal Creek; 16 miles with Brian and Alex.
4/9 - Traveled to the bay area where I did an evening run with the Palo Alto Run club. I joined them for their Monday evening run through the Stanford campus and up a 5k route they call the Dish loop. It is a 900 foot climb over about a mile and a half with a huge downhill and then another big Wilke like climb on a dirt road. It was an awesome run, but I had been up since 2:30AM PST and was beat by the time the run started at 6PM. I need to try it again in the morning some time.
4/11 - It was raining in the bay area this morning so I ran 6 miles on the treadmill. It was a good workout, but not as nice as the run I did on Monday night.
4/12 - I did an easy mid-day run after arriving home late last night; 5.6 miles
4/13 - I decided to run with Carla on my day off. We did an easy 3 miles at a very slow pace. It was great to run with her and see how far she has progressed since she started with her fitness program a year ago.
4/14 - I met Jay and Brian for an easy 7 on the trail instead of a long run since the Bun Run is tomorrow. There was a big storm last night and the Town Lake area took a beating. There were downed trees all over the place. We had to go over, under and around 8 trees on the trail. The little tree that provided shade for the water at Auditorium Shores had to be cut down which was kind of sad.
4/15 - The Bun Run - the weather was perfect, but I was out of shape. I ran a 20:40 which is 10 seconds faster than last year, but 16 seconds slower than my PR. I just haven't done enough speed work since the marathon. I have placed in the Clydesdales the last 3 years with 2 seconds and a first, and this year I finished 4th. Anyway, another good baseline entering Chicago training.
4/16 - Today I did a recovery run with Brian and Jay around the Town Lake Trail. It was good to get out and go slow after the 5k beating yesterday.
A lot of running over the last two weeks!
