Enjoying the sunlight
It has been really nice having the extra hour of sunlight after work (and some mild weather to boot). I did two runs at the Wildwood Lake Sanctuary (of Harrisburg Marathon hilly part fame) this week with my friend Ryan after work.
I’m planning on heading down to the Chambersburg Half-Marathon on Saturday morning to hit it as a training run with my friend James. Assuming I feel good mid-week, I’ll try easing into a tempo run and see how my legs respond. Based off my Garmin stats, it looks like my reduction in training has cost me about 30 seconds/mile at the same heart-rate. I’m hoping my muscles will behave and I can start slowly getting back into some higher intensity workouts again in time to put in a good effort at the Lehigh Valley Half-Marathon, which is currently my “A” race.

The extra sunlight has been awesome. It makes me want to run every day. Fortunately this week has been so busy that I haven’t given into the urge.
Good luck on Saturday! Keep stretching!
