I am a big fan of that especially if it works for the runner. After a break, I'm sure your body and mind will pop back to normal. One suggestion I have: the shorter the race, the longer the warmup. You might have felt a bit better if you did more than a mile prior to your mile race. Just a suggestion, but either way, you rocked it!Marc Pelerinhttp://trainwithmarc.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-80561041893162200332019-05-02T21:43:31.241-05:002019-05-02T21:43:31.241-05:00Lady, you have been rocking your spring races!

I have two big out of state events coming up and I am super excited for those. But then I need to get back into half marathon mode and make something happen there. I've been away from the distance for too long.<br />Runs With Pugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171128110788554302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-25950266290734509272019-05-01T22:31:09.102-05:002019-05-01T22:31:09.102-05:00You think? ;-) I'm doing a team relay on the M...You think? ;-) I'm doing a team relay on the May 11th, but I don't consider that "racing" (at least I'm not treating it as such), and I have a 20K on June 1st. I don't have anything on my summer schedule yet...but I know there will be a few races added in for good measure as I start MCM training in July.
