Mile 7 or 8, still feeling good

Lake Minnetonka RR, and now May we pump up the volume?

Last week was recovery week, this week More is More!

LM 1/2 marathon: Perfect weather, fantastic course, loads of people, and tons of fun! Yes, it was fun, even with all the hills. In fact, LM 1/2 is hardly ever flat. It's a series of undulating ups and downs for 13.1 miles. Even had to climb a 2 tier steep hill at the end, but got the a fun short downhill and tight turn to the finish.
Very conservative beginning, low HR and easy breathing. Picked up the last mile, and felt strong. My mile times were:
9:37, 9:37, 9:32, 9:31, 9:30, 9:46, 9:26, 9:20, 9:32, 9:13, 9:25, 9:05, 8:25, 0:38.

Over 20 minutes off my PR, but I'll take it. I haven't been running much, so I was happy with how good I felt during the entire run.

This week is back to big volume, and not sure if I'll run New Prague 1/2 or not. We'll see....
