The UK weather can't make its mind up - only around 3C when I went out this morning. Still sunny though so I can't complain too much. Great work getting it done in the heat - very rare it even gets that hot over here!

A truly awful run, but not entirely unexpected. My brother died last Tuesday and I have been very busy tending to the arrangements, my sister-in-law and their two grown kids, etc. Very sticky today, too, so no surprise that I didn't have much in me...

great Maryland Half 13.46 mi 01:55 08:33 pace

They claim that the course was 13.1 but my program and a mapping program that I tried both said that it was 13.46. Either way is fine with me. The run went well and I stuck pretty close to the pace I was after so I'm happy. I need to pick up that pace a bit as summer rolls on, but so far I'm on target...

Ahhhh. I'm pretty much certain now that my distance was right and the course was mis-measured! I found a bunch of people on Runkeeper who ran the race and all of them who reported using their GPS devices (rather than manually entering their time) are coming in at 13.5 or thereabouts. Since I really wanted to be close to an 8:30 pace, that makes me feel MUCH better.
Not bad for a 56 year old guy. I was 171 out of 1,084 total racers, or top 16%, and 12 out of 81, or top 15%, in my age group....

Next to last speed work run before the MD Half. Thanks goodness the Weather Channel gives you some raw data as well as their forecast. I wear glasses so I avoid running in rain when I can. They were forecasting rain but the radar showed it to be about an hour out. Radar was right and I got a dry run in!

Corey, the race is Saturday morning and is the Maryland Half Marathon for the Greenebaum Cancer Center at the U of MD Hospital. They do really good work and I've managed to raise about $600 from 13 others so I feel good. I've never tried to raise funds before, usually preferring to just write my own check!

Not bad. Very slow start but the rest went pretty well. Planned to do 14 but when I hit 13.35 I thought I would do a test. I've always read that you should keep moving for a while after a run and I never do. Let's see how I feel tonight....

Great half Lowell. Nice pace especially for an "Easy" half! I walk up and down the street for 5 mins after a long run, I found it stopped me getting quite so stiff. I then come in and give my legs a good going over with the foam roller.

Haven't tried the foam roller yet but the walk really did seem to make a big difference with sleep, which is the problem I had been noticing after long runs. I would wake up in the night with really stiff back and leg muscles but last night I slept perfectly. So walking is now on the schedule after long runs!

I've noticed that I am more easily able to run fast in the afternoons than in the mornings. Today I have a funeral to attend mid-day so I wasn't sure about getting the run in late. Yesterday's pace was much faster over twice the distance. I'll have to pull the data into a spreadsheet and see if that's a real trend...

I've been really happy with my progress where speed is concerned. I finally started doing what all the coaches say to do - speed work during the week and then long runs on the weekend. This time I had some things come up that stopped me from running my long run over the weekend so since I felt so rested, I decided to push a little. Turned out I went faster than expected!

Still adjusting the the very sudden heat and humidity. I probably let myself off a little easy today so I'll make sure that doesn't happen on the weekend. Walked through the golf course today on the way home for the first time since I've lived here. Quite a beautiful likeness of nature!
