Galloway Run (Recovery Run)

Sunday morning, I led the Galloway finishers group on a shorter recovery run for them (and a nice easy recovery run for me). We met at 7:00 am, and the weather was again perfect, 29-30 degrees, crisp, clear. The run was uneventful, taking the Scenic loop for a hilly test. We cruised the 6.3 miles at about 13:00/mile average pace. My legs felt pretty good all the way through, with no musculo-skeletal issues to mention.

Then, it was off to Lufkin for the next couple of days. Weekly totals will be posted later, but it was another 40+ mile week, 5 runs. Next week has some interesting workouts, mile repeats and 1000m repeats, another marathon pace run, and a long run of 22+ miles, our longest training run in the entire cycle. I think we're going to start at the top of the Freescale course, and then roll down to the finish, skipping a chunk in the middle (the out and back section on 6th and Lake Austin) so that we again get the start of the race with most of the downhills and the tougher second half of the race.
