6 miles

Easy and very slow. Most of the soreness is gone other than a little in my calves and feet. My arches have been bugging me for a while now since I had been running in some pretty worn out shoes.

8.5 and 4.5 miles

I broke the long run into 2 today because I started getting some soreness around 6 miles. I may have been able to continue just fine but I wanted to make sure that I recovered from the effort yesterday. Still a little sore on the 4.5 in the afternoon but an ice bath after the morning run helped.

5k - 19:36

Ran my first race since the 1/2 marathon last September. I wasn't sure what to expect given that my mileage over the winter was pretty low (3-4 miles/day with 1 to 2 days off per week and a longish run on Sundays). Since class was done in mid-May I have been in the 45 mile/week range and just added in preliminary speed last week.

The race went pretty well... it was really fun and I ran relaxed the whole way. My splits were 6:19, 6:28 and 6:18. I was hoping to still be in shape to break 20:00 and especially considering the wind and the course I am very encouraged. I am excited about racing now this summer and fall!
