I took Monday as another rest day to let my ankle heal a little more from rolling it and the long run on Saturday.  The legs felt good this morning and the weather was amazing.

Had a nice run this morning.  I didn't have any pressing school things so I started later and just took things nice and slow.  I did a different run which had more hills.  

Then did some core work.

I didn't get a run done in the morning so I did it after I got home from school.  I never like running at the end of the day.  It was a really slow run and my side hurt most of the run.  This is something that only happens when I run at the end of the day.

Good run this morning.  It was good to have the quick turn around after running last night so my legs could get use to running when they are a little tired.  Weather was nice and the run was enjoyable. 

I had a really good 21 mile run this morning.  The course I chose to do was very very challenging with a lot of hills.  About 12 miles of it was on trails with 6 uphill and 6 downhill.  I also had a couple areas before I got to the trails that were pretty tough uphills and downhills.  I chose this because I not only wanted to go long today, I wanted to challange myself.  I will say the last few miles were not easy.  I had my little girl come and run a little bit with me and bring me some food and something to drink with some carbs.  Once I got some of that in me I felt a lot better.  Overall I was really happy with the run today.  It boosted my confidence that I will be fine with the upcoming trail marathon I have in a few weeks.  My total running time was 3:37 so it was good to be on my feet for a long period of time.  Now I will take the day to recover!
