Saturday exercise
Today was my long run - 14 miles around the lake. Now, that my mileage is making that climb towards the October marathon, I'm back to sitting in an icebath for 10 minutes after I go long. It really seems to make a difference in my recovery.

I had my long run today too - 12 miles! It was a great day for a run here - low humidity and not too hot. Makes the 12 miles a whole lot easier. Good for you on the icebath - I just can't get myself to do it. I hear it really does make a difference.

Hi Mary,
My husband gets a good laugh every time I sit in the icebath - naked from the waist down, bundled in a sweatshirt, a cup of steaming tea and Runners World for distraction. That's the only way I can stand it.
Glad you had a great run too. The weather has been been tough for us in the northeast this summer. The reprieve from the heat and humidity was certainly a welcome relief.

Linn,
10 miles on top of a spin class counts for 20, doesn't it?

Well look at this. I too did my LR on Sat. It was an awesome 16 miles. The cool weather made for the best workout I have had in a year.
I broke the run in to 4 - 4 mile parts and my goal was 44 minutes each.
I did the first 4 in 44.13 for an 11:03 average
second four in 43:46 for a 10:56 average
thirs four in 43:44 for a 10:55 average and
the last four in 41:08 for a 10:22 average.
The 16 mile total was 2:55.52
Since my marathon PR is 5:20, I am well in reach of breaking it by an hour or so.

Awesome times Scott! It's amazine how much better we run when the heat and humidity cooperate. Do you have a marathon planned before Disney?

I don't have one planned as in signed up. I would really like to do Hartford on October 11 but I am an Army football season ticket holder and there is a game that day. I am only about 4 weeks from being marathon ready and I don't want to waste it. I will look for something else without having to go too far.
I guess we will see.
You?

I ran a half marathon today. Pulled a groin muscle with about 4 miles to go. Thought I could just work it out. I finished in 2:11 but could not walk for the rest of the day and most of today.
That has never happened before lots of pain. I've been resting, icing today.
