Marathon Training Week 2

The ear felt much better by Monday and I was able to pretty much return to normal.
Monday: Ran 3 miles at lunch, it was much harder than expected for two reason's 1) still sore from wakeboarding 2) Hot! For Flagstaff anyway it was like over 80.
Tuesday: Yoga, felt really good to stretch out all the sore muscles. Very Zen.
Wednesday: Ran intervals in the morning 2x1600m with 800m easy jog recovery. Also a 1/2 mile warm up and cool down. Felt really good, it's always nice to run fast but also a bit painful.
Thursday: Lifted and ran 2.5 miles. Always hard to run on treamill, but got into a groove after a while.
Friday: Bike to work and lift at lunch but no bike home because I wrecked my bike on the way in. Got a little scratched up but jacked up my front wheel. I'll post more about that later.
Saturday: 5K race! I've decided 5k's are the hardest. For longer races my mentality is just to keep going, for this race it's keep going fast the whole race and that can get painful. Like most races it was all a blurr. I was happy with the results. I ran 22:32 which was good enough for 25/173 overall and 4/14 for my division. That's a PR for me which was my original goal. I even ran under 23 which was my secondary goal so I can't complain. I would still like to train specifically for this distance some time and see how fast I can go, but that won't happen until at least next year. Here are some pictures Paige got of the race.
