Nutrition- 2 cups water & 4 pieces of chocolate.  I've got to work on my nutrition & sleep! It's hard though to stay on top of eating healthy when you don't feel like cooking.  It was rough this week with sick kids.  We had a "Stay-cation" that turned into a "Sick-cation." Not a lot of fun.  If only I could get a decent nights sleep and had a personal chef that chopped up veggies for me all day...

Luckily I felt Ok to run today in this gorgeous Spring weather! 

Aubree and I ran straight from the Easter Egg Hunt at the church through the heart of Bloomfield Hills.  This is such a beautiful place!  We ran past a few homes with enchanting bridges arching over small streams in their yards.  I couldn't help slowing down and soaking in the beauty of the landscaping, flowers, and architecture. 

My shins and IT were a little tender.  

3x2 mile repeats.  

Set 1- 7:56 pace average

set 2- 7:39 pace average

I would say rest would be more beneficial that much running. You're not going to lose much fitness this close and you'd be better off than hurt expecting to run a good marathon. Rested over tender any day

I would say rest as well. I would rather go in feeling pain free to start and maybe have to dig deep to finish. Having said that, if I continue to feel better I might try to get a couple real short ones in just for the movement and piece of mind.

Sounds like a beautiful run. Sorry about the sick-cation. I hope your family is on the mend. I just downed a few malted milk eggs. I have got to put the Easter candy away before I eat it all! Can't wait to meet you in a few days. I hope Cheryl and I can make it to the finish. I think you are in such great shape you will get a PR!
