Yesterday morning I did my practice up hill run. Ran 5 miles at a 2.4-3% incline up to the copper mine.
So I wouldn't overtrain, my wife was supposed to pick me up there but we miscommunicated so I ran back home.
She wanted to go swimming at the gym after her workout and I told her I would meet her there and decided to run to the gym to see how I could handle two runs. Did another 6 miles.
I felt great, my IT band doesn't hurt (who knew stretching was good for you?) and I think I'm ready for the race in a couple of weeks.
