Monday, 9/19/2016 to Saturday, 9/24/2016

I ran once in 6 days, 10.5 miles.

Monday, 9/19/2016, to Wednesday, 9/21/2016: Rest days.

I didn't really have much trouble recovering from the Rochester Marathon. That was probably because I didn't push myself during the second half. I was a bit stiff on Monday and had a bit of trouble walking down stairs on Tuesday but that's about it. I thought about running Tuesday and a bit more on Wednesday but it was too soon.

Thursday, 9/22/2016: 10.5 miles, 1:28:40, 8:27 pace, 82F, 48% RH, 5 mph WNW wind, mostly cloudy


I knew I wanted to run right after work but definitely didn't want to run the usual bridges route from Herrema's. So I headed down to Ontario Beach Park and decided to try a new route. I just did an out and back to Culver Rd. I had mapped it on mapmyrun.com and knew it was over 10 miles. The last 1/2 of the out was a gentle up to Culver Rd which did set up a nice down coming back. I set up a a bit faster than nice and easy pace and held it the whole way. It was a bit hot so I was drenched with sweat when I got done. But it did feel good! My splits were: 8:43, 8:33, 8:26, 8:18, 9:09, 8:38, 8:10, 8:14, 8:32, 8:11 and 7:37 over the last 0.5 mile.

Friday, 9/23/2016, and Saturday, 9/24/2016: Rest days.

Yeah, I should have done something physical on Saturday but I lazed around instead.
