First post for a few days, so sorry about that – need to catch up on a few….

Week 10, Day 2
Phase: Marathon
Workout: 50 to 60 minute Easy Run
Purpose: Build Endurance
Nice of Coach McMillan to schedule another easy run today; I guess he must have known my legs would still be a bit sore after Sunday’s half marathon. Also, at 89 degrees, it was a little warm to even think of doing anything other than an easy run. Here’s a quick summary of my afternoon plod around the neighborhood:

Distance: 6.62 miles
Time: 50:12
Pace: 7:34 per mile

Once the run was over and done with I decided to get back into push up mode. Since I “did the hundred” a few weeks ago, I haven’t really been too enthusiastic about push ups and I think my arms and upper body are showing it. So, back to Week 3, Day 1 for me which I’m pleased to say I managed fairly comfortably. My plan is to complete Week 3 and continue through to Week 6 again with the aim of doing the hundred some time at the end of the month. I can’t let all my hard work go to waste!

  3. Hi Steve,

    Speaking of the half marathon…I don’t see a RR on it. I did check your times online…one second off your RnR best in that heat and humidity is amazing!

    Congratulations to both you and Ally!

  4. Hey Charlie,

    Just haven’t got around to the RR I’m afraid. Soon….

    Thanks for the congrats. I know I PR’d in the race, despite the official results saying 1:21:27 – it took me at least a couple of seconds to get to the start line and the finish clock clearly shows 1:21:26 as I hit the line:

    Oh well, it was a good race and I’m pleased with the performance in the humid conditions.

    Thanks for stopping by. Hope the recovery is going well,

    –Steve
