Yesterday’s Run

This is a new segment I’m going to start including where I talk briefly about yesterday’s workout.

I did an easy 5 miles at Mounds, charging up the major hills to loosen up my legs. It was in the upper 30’s and I felt great. I love the residual effect after tapering and running a major race. I ran my fastest time there this summer in 37:26.

I will be racing at the Mid-South Marathon in Wynne Arkansas on Saturday, don’t worry I’m only doing the half marathon again. We’ll be back late Saturday night and I’ll be volunteering at Run the Mounds. I’m not sure what my role will be, but I’ll be wearing my orange Chicago Marathon hat, so be sure to say hi!
