Getting Back on Track - Day One

  Currently the next 10 weeks will be my preparation for my Redemption Training Cycle for the Monumental Marathon, even though I have 3 races this month I don't really plan on racing any of them but using them as part of my buildup. Races for May:
May 16 - 2015 River Run ( Start at Henderson, KY to Evansville riverfront, we going to cross the Kentucky bridges!!)
May 23 - Owensboro Memorial Day Half Marathon
May 30 - The Harmonie Half Marathon (Trail Race)

 After that, as far as I know.. there are no other races until October which is the Evansville Half Marathon. Right now it is buildup phase, building my mileage base and my fitness because the plan is to kick ass this training cycle and during the Monumental marathon.

  This morning was the first morning since Tuesday, April 21st that I ran and then headed to the gym. Boy was I exhausted, but we'll get to that later. This morning was 63 degrees, but not too humid. I am so happy to be wearing shorts and a sports bra now, but Rocky isn't too happy with this... all ditches were dry as hell up until the final mile. It was a little upsetting and I felt bad for Rocky, as he didn't get too many breaks for water.
 Rocky and I ran 5.2 miles in 51:31 with an average pace of 9:55 min/mile, not bad. I was sore around the hamstrings for the first 3 miles or so, I think that was more because I did a few Romanian Deadlifts last night.
Laps/splits were:
Mile 1 - 10:14
Mile 2 - 10:03
Mile 3 - 9:59
Mile 4 - 9:45
Mile 5 - 9:37
Mile 5.2 - 9:30

   Bad thing about warm weather runs??? Two different sports bras for my run and the gym, thankfully my shorts have the built in underwear.
