Run Log: May 2013

I've now got two half marathons under my belt & have paid my money for a whole.  My 20 week training schedule started this week...here I go.  My legs have not quite recovered from the half.  Right hamstring is a little tweeky ~ and both IT bands are sore...and my left knee starts to hurt around 5 miles...but that's IT band stuff & I know what to do about it.  Trying to maintain my miles & get my legs into top shape again...there's a balance & here's hoping I find it.
An update on my marathon time.  I emailed them to ask where they got the 13 seconds they added to my time & explained my whole long saga.  A few days later I hear back that they will look into it & a day or so later, I checked my results & they updated my time to the time on my watch.  However, they did not update the standings.  That time actually has me placed 17 in my age group & that's what I'm going with.
