Monday I went for a "recover from the weekend" run. I may have still been hungover or just really tired from my hangover. It took a mile to get everything in working order but I managed 5 miles at a 9:27 min/mile average. Each mile was consistent/within 5-10 seconds so I managed to pace myself without really knowing what I did. After feeling how I was feeling I'll take it! Tuesday was a cross-training/weights. I got bored and skipped on some of the arm weights since the machines were taken. I'll make it up Thursday (maybe). Today (Weds) after all day of playing on the computer and general procrastination I went for a nice 7 miles with 6 x 100 pickups at the end. Not sure if I did it right but it felt good to get the legs turning over faster than they have in awhile!

Not Much to Say
Right now I wish I was more like DMB and have "so much to say". Unfortunately for you it's been a boring week so far. Hubbie has been traveling this week and won't be back until late Friday. It's just me and my cat Maggie and although a super cutie who follows me around the house she's not a big talker... I did realize today that marathon training for Chicago needs be kicking in high gear here soon. So 1 month post Cleveland I need to start getting serious again! The hunt for mini races in July and August begins as well. I have a couple that don't quite "fit" the schedule but I think I could make them work.

I don't have much to say these days either. At least you have cute feline company while the hub is away. My furbaby is an ocean away. At least he's keeping my mom company. :)
Great job on the runs, btw! Wish I could run Chicago with you and 40,000 other people. Oh well, maybe next year.
I have had things to write about, but then don't feel like sitting in front of the computer typing. Nice runs.
Great runs!
I've been scoping out some smallish local summer races, too. They keep me motivated!
I think it's great you are looking at sort of intermediate/tune up runs leading up to the big one. Good Luck! Nice run as well.
I'm glad we will both be marathon training at the same time. Mine stars this week.
Every body goes through that bloggers block! Great job on the runs. A long as you are increasing your speed for the strides I am sure you are good!
Good job on your runs! I especially like the hangover recovery run. Lol. I hear ya on the nothing to say, front. I feel like I need to plan out my blogs so people aren't super boooooored. But I'm not at all bored by yours, so no worries. :)
Great pacing! You are getting back on track quickly!
Glad the 7 miler went well, aren't striders fun!!
don't know about the weather in chicago (though in two weeks I will!), but here it is pouring rain constantly! so days where you can just stay inside and veg are kinda nice. good job on the post-partying recovery run!
Hope you have some fun races to do.
hmm, missed this post, sorry. by tonight you'll be back to having human conversation when hubby comes home :) have a great weekend!
