I've got the month of May

.. and yes that's from the temptations My Girl. But more importantly I'm talking about how I have the month of May before I delve deep into my first phase of training in the few months leading up to fall races!

May is a big month... Bay to Breakers 12K in San Fran, Birthday, and Graduation... in that order! Then back to FL the end of the month. Going to take a very easy week after the the 12K before I head into training! Then in June I will give a 5k another shot which should be good as I will be doing a bit more speedwork.

This morning did 2 miles easy before car shopping.. happy to report I will be getting a brand new Honda Accord very soon! Just need to decide between dark blue, silver, and polished metal! Then lunch, practice, and ran at the trail which I usually don't do in the evening so that was a nice change. Wanted to throw some marathon pace tempo in the middle but my legs are still a bit tight from Sunday's race so splits ended up being 7:54, 7:52, 7:49, 7:56, 8:00, 7:55, 7:52 and then 1 mile CD for a total of 8 miles.

So basically the idea going into the summer will be more recovery days so I can be very ready for hard workouts. Should be an interesting change and we'll see how it goes! And yesterday was 8 easy miles but I should maybe not run so much the day after a race.
