yikes! i haven't updated in a week! this week went pretty well; i would have liked to have gotten in 6 days and 40 miles, but 35 mi in 5 days was pretty good.
monday: 5 miles easy in the arb
tuesday: OFF. a long day in the office and a hs track meet i was recruiting at conspired to keep me from running this day. i thought i might have time after the track meet, but then a second recruit that i hadn't planned on seeing was there and i stayed later. it was great to see her, but it meant no run.
wednesday: 6 mile progressive run. this was sort of an impromptu workout. 43:28 total (7:22 pace) first 2.45 miles were 7:45 pace and last 3.45 were 7:05. my guess is that i was probably under 7:00 for at least a bit of that, but unsure exactly.
thursday: 7 miles easy with the team during morning practice. legs felt pretty tired, probably from the workout the day before. they felt especially tired toward the end of the run.
friday: 7 mile easy run over some hills - out spring creek, east, looping back to woodley. felt great and ran around 7:30 pace.
saturday: OFF. Track meet all day.
sunday: this was a great out and back run on wall st. tried to go quicker on the way back than on the way out. legs felt pretty bad - heavy/tired - until about mile 6, and then they felt really good by the end. probably just tired from standing around at the meet all day saturday. started off around 8:00 pace and progressed down to 7:00 pace for last mile.
overall: 35 miles in 5 days, 2 great workouts.
i talked with dave for a bit this week about races to train for and workouts/mileage for the next month. i'm excited to have a plan and to start getting signed up for races!
