i've never in my life hoped i had a cold as much as i am right now, since the alternative is allergies. if it is a cold, it's the most perplexing one i've ever had, but here's hoping.
thursday: 4 easy - out woodley and back. ~8:00 pace. legs felt pretty wiped, so i cut it a mile shorter. also, my head was super-congested.
friday: didn't feel great and had an awkward chunk of time with a recruit that led to no run. probably a good decision overall.
saturday: off. planned day off because of kayleen's visit.
sunday: 8 mile long run in the lower arb. first 5 miles ~8:00, last 3 miles ~7:00. i picked it up from the end of the arb back to home because my legs felt pretty good (as they should after two days off) and it just sort of happened. if i had to guess, i'd say that it was somewhere between threshold and marathon pace, but i'm not really sure. i certainly couldn't have kept doing that for a whole lot longer, and it was taking a lot more effort toward the end than it was at the beginning, but a lot of that felt like muscle strength more than anything else.
weekly total: 27 miles in 5 days
goals for this week: 9 mile long run, 7 days of running, 37 miles (5-5-4-5-5-9-4?) or 40 if i'm feeling super-duper-crazy-awesome.
