sooo sore today from Shred 3(all the lunges and squats kill me!) and from work last night. We grilled out at my aunts--some yum fresh fish they caught last year.

And then went to the fair.

I scheduled out my runs for the next 10 weeks. I"m excited for a fall 1/2...

 I want to do a sub 2 hour 1/2. But after every 1/2 I feel like i'm starting all over again with mileage. So I don't know if I will be able to do it this time (put speed work into my training).

I know how to taper but I don't know how to act after the race. I hope this makes sense. So now next week I will be running only 15 or 18 miles...and I have increased 10 percent each weekish so that I can get atleast one 12 miler in before race day.

I tried to look over my training from Madison (i felt so great during that race). Also, I noticed I was dealing with pains and twinges and not wanting to run durin gthat training as well so I'm trying to keep that all in mind will I train for this one.

I guess in reality it has only been 3 weeks since my last 1/2. I suppose I'm not doing sooo bad. I just didn't think my mileage would be so low. I dunno...maybe I'm crazy!
