Ok, Jamie and Grace, here we go:
Week 5 and 6: Recovery
Your body is probably pretty tired from the last month of running. These next two weeks are about allowing your body to recover, so that it can continue to build. In our house analogy, I suppose we are letting the cement dry. These two weeks should be about staying hydrated (lots of water), trying to eat the right foods and letting your achy muscles have some rest (but not too much). You may also want to take some time to read more about running.
Monday- rest
Tuesday- 1 mile
Wednesday- rest
Thursday- 1.5 miles
Friday- rest
Satruday/Sunday- rest one day/1 mile the next
Sounds very doable, eh?
Jamie, I really enjoyed reading your running story about your "cheerleaders." How cute! Hope you all have a great week!
Ps. Grannybear's birthday is tomorrow! :)

This is terrific. Mentally, I think I'm ready to up it to a harder pace/amount now, but physically, I think I'm still getting used to this. A rest week is such a great idea to avoid my oh so common burn-out syndrome. :)
Have a great week running! Very doable. Good Psalm and Happy almost Birthday, Sarah's Grannybear. :)
and in his word do I hope.
1.5... you ready to do this? Thanks for your post on my blog this morning. You're so fun. Wish I could run with you on our TX trip, but I doubt it will work out. I'll check and see though. :)
I didn't run yesterday... =( I was sooo tired. I think it's because I didn't have a lunch which equaled NO energy. And since I'm confessing... instead of running, I made cookies.
I'll try and catch up.
