I planned on a hard interval run for this morning, but am now considering entring the First Midwest Half Marathon | May 5, 2013 in Palos Heights, IL.
My first ever 1/2 wasn't on my map until later this summer, but weather has been nice and i've been feeling good. Going to decide later this afternoon.
Today's run:
4 miles
40 Minutes
Started slow, but finished last mile in 8:30.
Road to the Chicago Marathon - 2013

Monday
Ran a slow 2.5 miles this morning before work. Active recovery to prep for
something of substance tomorrow before a nice day of planned rest on Wednesday.
Easy like Sund... Not really.
Sunday
Met up with the WCRC at Bemis South to run the Salt Creek Trail for a nice recovery run. Before I knew it I was running 6 miles with three others. Legs felt surprisingly good. Need to find a way to get more air into the lungs.
Distance = 6 Miles
Time = 56 Minutes.
9:25 pace.

10 Mile High
Saturday
Met up with Dan and Matt at Waterfall Glenn to see if I could stretch it out. I thought I was doing 9, but they know a "long cut" that makes it an even 10. Hung with the two pros through 7 miles at a 9:20 clip and finished final three at 10:15 pace.
Total distance 10 Miles.
Time 1:38 minutes.
Molly and the kids met me at the finish. She went out for a 4 mile run of her own while I walked the path with our future Olympians. We played on the bridges and looked for frogs while dodging other runners and bikers. Stayed around just long enough to see Dan finish his 2nd 10 mile loop. He’s a machine.
It was a great morning!

A steady 4
Still a bit chilly outside, but dressed warmed and hit the Salt Creek Trail
for a nice steady 4 miles.
Finished at 40:00
Felt easy and refreshing.
Looking forward to a long run Saturday at Waterfall Glen. Hoping to do 9 miles at a 9:00 minute pace. 9x9. It will be the biggest run of my young, promising career :)

Hit the salt creek trail for a quick
2 mile run before work this morning. Came within 5 feet of two pairs of deer that
just nodded as I whisked on by.
