Ok. So, I guess I am back at running now. After last Friday's run I hopped in the car and headed to St. George. I had packed some running stuff, but ended up not pulling it out of my bag. I talked to Tyler on the way down and we decided that it was in my best interest to take a few more days off. When I ran Friday morning my left hamstring hurt just a little and both of my calves were pretty sore. That could have been the product of running too fast on Thursday and Friday, but it was definitely a little leftover aching from the marathon as well. 

St. George was fun. We went on some walks, hung by the pool, and played countless games of shuffleboard, a true gentleman's sport! 

I ran 6 miles this morning trying to keep it at about 8:00 pace. My calves were a little sore by the end and are still a little tight now. I think they will feel better after a few days of running and loosening them back up. I am going to avoid any speed workouts this week and maybe get a short one in next week before I head to Boise for the 1/2 ironman. The rest of this week is going to be pretty chill. Try and do about 6 tomorrow and Friday and then maybe a 10 or so on Saturday. I am actually flying to DC Friday night so we will see what happens Saturday morning. I want to do a morning run by the monuments.

Normally I hardly ever travel, but the end of this month and beginning of June are pretty busy. Last weekend in St. George. This weekend in DC. Next weekend in Boise. One weekend of nothing and then Ragnar Wasatch Back on the 21st and 22nd.

Way to ease back into it. The 1/2s you've got on your schedule will be a good change for you.

Running through the monuments is the best way to see that area, the tidal basin, etc. Definitely worth it if your legs are feeling up for it.
