Was a cut back week. 10 miles on the schedule.
And FINALLY I get some of my speed back!!! 10:13 pace with little effort on my part. I gotta say I was starting to get a bit frustrated. I know its only been a month since Chicago but still...At least now I feel better going into Dallas/White Rock in 3 weeks for the half marathon there.
It helped also that it was cool (53ish) and even though it was raining and windy (at the start) I still thought it was perfect weather with the very cloudy skies. It stopped raining by mile 2 and it actually felt warm (even though I know that was just the humidity) and I left my shirt at the water stop and just ran the rest in my jog bra and shorts. By the time I was finished the wind had kicked up again and I was thankful for my warm hoodie waiting for me in the car :)
I am still not going to fully commit to going through with the full at Houston until after next weeks 17 miler. If I can nail the 17 miler with my usual training pace without having to work at it, then I will more than likely still go through with the full and not drop to the half.
No ankle or back pain today.
