I’m enjoying my day off from training today … I was able to sleep in a bit (if you call 5:20 sleeping in). The body feels pretty good and is slowly healing up from the 6 days of abuse, but there is more to come. The Fairfield half marathon is next weekend, so this upcoming week is somewhat of a step-back week. This means that my next weekend runs will be slightly shorter than i’ve been doing in that the half-marathon itself is only 13.1 miles and my speed run will probably be around 4 miles or so. My long run this week is 16 miles, and i’m still contemplating my course, which I think i’ll work out now.

I still haven’t registered for my second marathon in the fall, i’m debating between the Harrisburg marathon and one in Rhode Island … i’m not sure i’ll want to travel up north so much and for so long, although that marathon is on a Saturday instead of a Sunday, which is somewhat odd. I dunno, i’ll decide and register for something this weekend.

I also have to arrange in the next week to get new shoes. The ones I bought a week before the Lehigh valley half are pretty worn, hosting almost 300 miles by the end of this week. If I plan for shoes next week, that should be good.
