April was a good month for me. Although my mileage was way down from March, it was an expected decline and made sense for my training -- I had a taper week before the half marathon followed by a recovery week after.
The half marathon was great and my runs since have been increasingly good. I'm sure the turn to warm spring weather has had a little something to do with that! I got out for a really good run with my friend, Karen, last weekend and it was one of those recharging runs. Karen is training for a marathon at the end of May and she had a 20 miler on her schedule for last weekend. I ran almost 10 of those miles with her, over one of the hilly routes we'd run several times last year while training for the NJ marathon. It was such a good run!
May is pretty wide-open for me. I hope to get out and run with friends as much as possible this month and I also plan to get myself in gear for the Freihofer's 5K the first weekend of June.
Until then, here's a look at the month that was:
Running (miles): 86
Racing: 1, the More/Fitness half marathon

Love the shoes! I'm obsessed with anything neon right now! Especially running shoes. :)
I do not have any races on my calendar for May. I ran a full marathon in April and a half marathon at the end of March. I have learned the hard way that my body needs a break after a marathon. I am going to start doing some speed work and hill training.
