Marathon training week 3

This was the first week that I did not reach my minimum mileage. I had miscalculated the day of the petit road race. For some reason I though it was saturday not Sunday. So that was 3 miles at the end of my week that I did not have.

Monday 3miles: mile 1 11:01 mile 2 14:45 mile 3 15:19 Heights Drive run
Thursday 2 miles: mile 1 13:28 mile 2 13:19 Heights Drive run

The Petit Road race sponsored by GE was held on Sunday July 20th. It began at 9:30 and one of my coworkers ran with me. The weather was humid, hot and yucky!!!! The race was to benefit the Petit family foundation.Dr Petit lost his wife and 2 daughters after 2 men invaded their home and they ended up being murdered. It was a great event with a great turnout.
I really wanted to try and shave some minutes off of my original 5k time. This ended up not happening. However I did not come in last by a long long run and did not come in last in my age group by over 30 people which was nice. My final time was 40:49.
