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.
