Lunch Time Recovery Run
Decided to pop out during my lunch hour to run an easy couple of miles. Ended up running eight, and despite aggravating a blister from yesterday’s Race for Literacy 10 Miler, I felt surprisingly good. Splits: 8:10 7:36 7:28 7:17 7:06 7:18 7:14 7:18 I’ve noticed it takes a while for me to get into [...]
Longest Run Of The Comeback

Virtual Partner Nine Miler
Set the Garmin Virtual Guy to run 9 miles at 7:27 pace and ended up with a really enjoyable “easy” run to take me to 60 miles for the week for the first time since early March. Honestly, it took a lot of self control to hold back and run 7:27s, but the slower pace [...]
