I find Mondays to be the hardest run of the week. My legs are usually dead for a few days after a Saturday long run. But for some unknown reason, not today. I saved my run for lunchtime, since it was so sunny outside (and I wanted to put as much distance between today and last Saturday's 19--especially because they were two 17+ Saturdays in a row). But I got out there and jammed. On Saturday had been talking to Sasha who suggested I run as fast as I can, until I can't anymore than slow it down for the remainder. I ended up sort of farlkeking my run, but averaged 8:40's by the end. And it felt great, which was a real surprize. Besides which, it was gorgeous out. Everything is tender green and the river extra wide today from the melting run off (all that snow in the mountains this weekend). It should be an exciting month with all the run-off. They were setting up the swim dock down at the youth camp. I can't wait for the warmer days.

Sounds GORGEOUS!!! I was cold in the dark! I agree, Mondays are crappy, usually :)

Be careful not to hurt yourself, running too fast :) This is going to be a GREAT marathon :D

It was not my intention to throw in any speed. In fact, I went out thinking I'd do 4, just to do it, and get it on the road. But once I got out there, I felt great and started playing around and then I threw in that extra mile. I think it was the rolling pin. After my run on Saturday, I bit down on a stick and rolled the rolling pin up and down my quads and calves, and I drank a protein drink right after the run. I actually think that helped the recovery. I can only hope that I'm getting back to my old self (pre-injury). We'll see by October! But yeah, I don't want to overdo it, especially this early in my game plan. Thanks guys for the encouragment!
