LOVE LOVE LOVE this race!  It was so pretty!  Don't love the late start time, but it is a great course!  I ran with two of my buddies and I'm so grateful I did because they pushed me!  The first 6 miles I was just doing everything I could to keep up with them and then at about mile 8 I got a sudden burst of extra energy.  The last few miles of the race were harder because it was getting hot and it was flat but I still loved this 1/2 marathon!

I am new to this and don't know what I am doing so if people see this let me know if I am doing this right :) 

 I had a 6.5 miles recovery run at a 8:06 average pace.  I did the hobblecreek half marathon 3 days ago and my calves were a little tight but it felt good to run.

So this morning I did my regular 6-7 mile run with my running buddies.  Our average pace was 7:53.  After reading some other blogs I am feeling running inadequate :)  I never ever do speed work and I only run 3 times a week.  I do other forms of working out but I'm thinking if I want to step up my running game I might want to bump it up a bit?!?  Any suggestions?

I finally did sprints!  I only did them for 30 minutes but I never do sprints so I felt good with that.  I stopped because my calves are still not fully recovered from hobblecreek.  They started cramping up so I stopped and hopped on the bike for 20 more minutes.  I don't know my exact pace but I sprinted every other minute and jogged in between sprints. (I just did them on the treadmill).  I think my sprints averaged between 5:45 and 7:00 minute miles.

Long run day.  The runners kept dropping like flys.  Started out running 3 miles by myself (to get my dog out) and then met 4 of my running buddies.  We averaged a 8:15 pace.  We started out with 5 girls and only 2 finished.  It was not a good day for most :)  With that being said, we finished our long run and that's always a good feeling.

Early morning...my husband had to catch an early flight and is gone for a couple days so I needed to get a run in.  I just did a 7 miler at an 8:05 average pace.  I ran in my new ALTRA's and LOVED them.  I'm still not completely used to the completely flat shoes but these actually felt good.  I will definitely start wearing these more.
