Run 1/22
Ran with ESR in Mill Creek - 4.3 miles in 44:00 minutes. I ran with my friend CD and we chatted most of the way. Overall it was an easy pace, but I could have done easier as my heart rate snuck above 80% once or twice.
My right calf is sore, so I'll stretch it out. This past week was unusual as I ran three times: one long run (half marathon), one hard run (Wednesday's ESR run), and this one. So my calf might be sore as this has been quite a bit. On the other hand, when I get back into the gym maybe I need to do some calf raises. ;)
CD talked about doing the Whidbey Island half-marathon in April. It interests me, because I've heard it is beautiful, but this probably isn't the right year for me to do it. I don't want to go overboard on running. In fact, I need to carefully think about recovery from a half-marathon - this week was bad because I haven't been on the bike at all. Part of that was time spent traveling, and I was really tired the last two days. Anyway, I have another half coming up in February and I need to make sure it doesn't disrupt bike training. My plan for the February half mary is to recover by swimming the following day (Monday), taking a rest day (Tuesday), and then biking Wednesday through Friday.
For now, no more running until next Saturday! It will be all about the bike until then.

Bike, bike, bike!!
I think both of us tend to fall back on our strengths (you/run, me/swim) when we want to throw an extra workout in. But, concentrate on the bike and all will be good come June. You're definitely in good running shape already!
