I'm back from vacation. 8 days of rest and relaxation, well kind of. I don't think there is such a thing as rest or vacation when you have a 2 yr old in tow. I did however get in a few good runs. I finally feel like I am getting back in the swing of things. It was discouraging for a while coming back into running and not being able to go as fast as I did before my hiatus. This past Sat. I ran the Breakaway 5k in old Orchard Beach, ME. Despite the weather it was my best race in 2yrs. I finished with a time of 25.02 which put me at 8:20 pace. Not bad!

Although my mileage last week wasn't high enough, only 12 miles total, I was able to work on my speed. With 18 weeks until the marathon I will start my training program this week.
