Route: http://www.mapmyrun.com/route/us/va/arlington/380123906652446749

Comments: I went at a pretty comfortable pace, was able to hold a conversation pace the whole way, until the end when I was heading up the hill pushing hard.

I felt a little sick before the run, felt fine during it, but then felt pretty sick after the run again. I'm sure everything will be fine, just annoying that's all.

Comments: I went at my own pace and enjoyed the run quite a bit. I was supposed to go 12 miles but made a mistake on the route and only did 10.8, oh well! Did I realized how much further along I am from last year, when I got an e-mail telling me my run should be 5 miles, and last year I was following the virtual trainer pretty closely! The route was also a good portion of the MCM so that's always good training.

Days until MCM: 134 days

Comments: We went at what felt like a pretty nice pace, and we kept it consistent through the end. Felt no pain in my foot again, so it seems like I am good to go and to train hard.

June 2nd Pacers - Greenberry Run

Time: 43 minutes

Distance: 5.3
Weather: Dry, but 84% humidity

Temp: 70

Time: 5:00 AM
Terrain: Flat and dry on the paths, it was much nicer then last week!

Route: http://www.mapmyrun.com/route/us/va/arlington/380123906652446749

Comments: We took off at a pretty decent pace and maintained it for most of the run. I started to get a little tired near the end, but pushed hard and still finished with the group.

My left foot has been bothering me slightly so I did go out a little slow, but once I was warmed up my foot felt completely fine. I think it just needed to get warmed up, let's hope no injury arises from it!

Days until MCM: 145 days
