AM- Long run. Cody and I did planet walk, then picked up Paul and did the Hyde Park loop. Nice loop, though there is one rather long hill that definitely increases in steepness. Good temperature, 35-40 deg- shorts, long sleeve shirt, gloves. Dropped Paul off and ran home. 20 miles on the nose, 7:22 avg (2:27:13), with 3 miles under 7:00 (fastest of 6:42). My legs have been sore all week and were very sore for the first half of the run, but started feeling a lot better by the end. Kind of strange. I felt pretty good considering this is my longest run by 2 miles and my highest mileage week by 6 miles.  Finished off with a huge, delicious brownie courtesy of the Drapers.

Next week I plan to be 70-72 miles with another 20 mile long run, followed by a 60 mile week with a mini-taper leading into the Strider's 1/2.

Nice workout. It's not strange that your body is sore in the beginning. Sometimes it takes getting warmed up with the blood flowing in the muscles to relax them.

Great week for you and more to come. It's nice to see you stretch your training and see it starting to come together. Oh I bet that brownie was good.
