Ocean Drive Week 11 - 03.03.14 - 03.09.14

03.03.14 - 6.4m Recovery - 9:26 avg pace - needed a good recovery day after another 70+ mile week last week and a tune-up half this week. Of course it was on the mill with lit snow and frigid temps. So looking forward to spring.

03.04.14 - 9.3m w/2x2m@HMP w/800 rec - 7:01, 7:00 splits - last quality day before Cburg Half this week. Felt strong for workout and would have liked to have this outside but as long as I get it in.

03.05.14 - 7.3m - 8:14 avg pace - need to start tapering down mileage for half on Saturday.  Easy  run outside even if temps a bit out of my comfort zone. Not too bad once I started getting moving.

03.06 14 - 4.5m - 8:10 avg pace - another chilly morning but felt lot colder than yesterday. Keeping it short today to rest legs more for Saturday.

03.07.14 - 1.85 m - 8:08 avg pace  - more or less a rest day but with new kicks arriving yesterday I had to get a short run in them just to see if they were an option for the Cburg Half on Saturday. The shoe is the Mizuno Wave Hitogami and ride like a dream and a my race kick for half tomorrow.

03.08.14 - Chambersburg Half - 1:36:04 - full report in race report

03.09.14 - 4.2m -10:13 - easy slow recovery run day after a hard hilly half. Done on the hotel treadmill as I was away with family. You get miles in where you can sometimes. legs felt good after a nice slow run though ready for one last hard week before taper.

Nice cut-back week heading into homestretch. pretty happy with race result although not a PR, but I'll take it as I hit homestretch of marathon training and my BQ goal which is end goal anyhow.
