running

[marathoner452]

Since Thursday, I've run 18 miles including 2 races. Then I'm going run a bunch more with the Flying Feet this evening even though I just ran a 5k in 28:07 this morning. I placed second in my age group too, and got a little free advertising for the Bachman Valley 1/2 Marathon that I'm directing at the end of September.  A bunch of people picked up race applications too, from as far away as Annapolis to boot.  That made me happy.

Now 18 miles in 4 days isn't much compared to what I did last summer, but given how much I've been running lately, I'm very pleased.  I had to walk down the stairs backwards yesterday evening.  Yes, being that sore is a good thing.  It means I'm a runner again.  I think the last time that stairs were a challenge was after the NCR Trail Marathon last November.

So yay for running.  Yay for getting in shape for the Annapolis 10-Miler at the end of August.

Congratulations on your 5K finish this morning. I'd say that's a good sign that you'll do very well with the A10. I haven't been running all that much lately, though once this heat wave breaks (94* with a 103* heat index today, similar weather tomorrow), that will change.
