This blog is about my running experience. I am not a physician, nutritionist or personal trainer. I am a runner. I do not know it all. I am only writing from my own experiences. I finished my first marathon on June 3, 2012. Who knows where my feet will take me next!

Weekly Review

It's been a better week.  I think my hamstring is at about 95%.  I really babied it for the first half of the week - I didn't even attempt running until Wednesday!  I'm also pleased to say that I did Pilates three times this week as planned.  It's definitely getting easier.

Sunday - Walked 8.01 miles
Spectating a marathon is a lot of work!  I was at the start and finish lines and enjoyed the day so much!


Monday - Walked 4.5 miles

Tuesday - Walked 3.5 miles

Wednesday - Ran 6.74 miles in 1:28:30, 13:08 pace
Hamstring still wasn't feeling great.  My IT band was also a little cranky, I'm guessing my stride was off from the hamstring and was causing IT trouble.  It's a slippery slope...

Thursday - Walked 4 miles

Friday - Ran 8.01 miles in 1:38:45, 12:20 pace
I decided to head up to Tantalus.  I knew I would be slow, and I was, but even walking up Tantalus is a tough workout.  I managed to run down at a pretty good pace.  I wore my compression calves sleeves while out running, I usually just wear them for recovery.  I didn't notice much difference, but I did hear a cyclist say, "Nice socks."

Good morning, Diamond Head!
Also walked 6 miles
Saturday - Ran 5.25 miles in 54:33, 10:24 pace
Today was going to be an active recovery run.  My quads are really sore from yesterday's run.  But once I started running, my legs felt better than they had in about two weeks!  I decided to run fast as long as I could.  That ended up being the entire time!  Must have been my special headband...
