Running

I raced well at my A race, the Black Squirrel Half Marathon. Then I quickly followed that up with a C race, the Loveland Marathon, which I jumped into 36 hours before the start. This race went quite well, but it really beat me up. All my previous races this year I’d maybe take a day or two off and start training hard again. After this downhill road marathon I didn’t feel good running for at least 10 days. So that threw off my training a bit, but I began to pick up steam again by the end of the month.
