Ran a fun 5k last night, did it at slow pace w/ friends. It was a craft beer festival so tasty beer afterwards. (Didn't get a pic to post in the toast thread, though!).
Got up and ran 4 miles today. No real plan, just ran. Then I sat down and figured out I have 11 weeks til the 1/2 Marathon that I want to PR in. Not much time to get speed up. I want to get under 2:10 and as close to 2 hours as possible. So I found this plan I saved from Women's Running to PR at a half. So I am ramping up mileage a bit AND speed tomorrow. Not sure I can tempo run at the pace they suggest to get my PR, but I'll try to get close to it and keep working on my speed. We shall see!
Veronica,
I notice when I run hills that I have a "power leg". It is my right leg. I'm left handed so don't know if that is why. It is probably also the leg I use to "step up" on things, too. So it is naturally that leg. I do feel my "gait" get off when I am over due for a massage. After he works out my back for a couple of hours I usually have less of a "hitch" in my gait and probably run a bit more equal in strength w/ my legs. Not sure, just my self-assessment.
K
