Have grad school this afternoon and evening, and my boss graciously let me go to do my run during my prep time at the end of the day. I meant today to be a recovery run, but the quicker pace just felt very comfortable and I turned it into a progression. Might have been much smarter to have stuck with going slower as my hamstrings feel a little bit knotted up from Sunday's long run on the MDI course (hills galore), but so be it. Will have to be more careful next time so I don't risk injury.
That being said, aerobically I feel like I'm in very good shape and I'm feeling better and better about putting out a decent performance at the MDI Marathon next month. One more long run this weekend and it's taper time!
Ran 5.5 miles @ 7:18 mile/pace.
AHR/MHR - 153/169

What are your running plans for the weekend?
I am going to be at Bradbury on Saturday for 12 at 6:00. I don't know what I'm doing yet on Sunday, but I'm leaning towards an early run at Pineland. I have plans later in the morning but don't know what time I need to be ready so I'm still not sure what I'm doing on Sunday.
