re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

good luck getting back in man. it becomes addicting when you commit.

so i took 3 days off of running. kinda. the last day of family camp they have some sort of hybrid football/soccer/quidditch game that the dads play against the kids and counselors and i'm pretty sure i ran about 2 miles during that. i could keep up with them all except about 2 or 3 of the counselors. anyways... while my cardio was great, that kind of sprinting and cutting hurt me pretty bad. i don't know how, but the top of my feet are still screaming bloody murder.

everything in my body is super tight so calling it "gutting out 4 miles" this morning would be generous, but it was good to loosen a lot of tight areas.

i have a fishing trip this weekend again in East Texas and then getting a lot more serious about the miles is on in August.

Welp, ran out the door this am with the intention of knocking out 5-6 miles; ended up going 13.1. Guess this is my long run of the week. Once I hit 7 or so, I decided to push through for the half, to get a baseline if nothing else. I'm OK with the pace, considering I've really just began running earlier this year, having done maybe 3-4 5Ks through the years. Never really made running a focus of training until recently and now I'm hooked. Followed up with 20 mins of Yoga/stretching.
