Week 17 - Saturday

Trever, Paul, and I met Kerry, Brent, Trina, Ryan, and Kevin at Glenwood and the Greenbelt for a planned 8 mile run. It was wet and rainy out, but the temperature was nice. Good running weather!

We started off heading east on the Greenbelt. This was my first pure long run since the marathon so I was hoping I’d feel like I was bouncing back. Fortunately, I felt great immediately. We cruised along near an 8-minute pace until the turn, and then I ran negative splits on the way back, finishing the last mile at 7:18 for an average of 7:53 for the run. Not as a good as pre-marathon 8 milers, but I was pleased with it.

I got home just as Holly was heading to the gym, so I did a quick change of clothes and went with her. We warmed up of the stationary bikes for 6 miles, and then did 30-45 minutes of weight training and core work. All this before 11am, not a bad start to the weekend!
