Another good one. Still feel the same as last week -- I'm ready for the training to be over, but I wouldn't mind a few more weeks to work on some things. It's a paradox. Anyway:
Monday - 23 miles in 2:36:57
Felt super strong and could have run 20 more miles.
Tuesday - 15.1 miles in 1:43:05
I ran easy 6:45 miles during most of the run.
Wednesday - 17.5 miles in 2:00:40
Didn't expect to do 2 hours when I started, but I really feel strong so I kept going.
Thursday - 16.4 miles in 1:51:24
Strong, strong, strong. I don't know if it's the caffeine or the training, but I feel super strong with the running.
Friday - 15.6 miles in 1:43:17
I ran hard during the back half and did a bunch of hills early. The pace was pretty consistent.
Saturday - 15.1 miles in 1:43:54
Got a late start after getting some ART and taking Michael to the doctor. Before I ran I drank a Red Bull -- pretty good stuff. Anyway, I ran strong again, but didn't try to do too much. The pace lagged a bit at the end.
Sunday - 8 miles in 49:22
Ran 3.3 miles in 17:37. That's 5:20-per mile pace or a 16:34 5k. My goal was to run a sub-17 5k or under 18 minutes for the 3.3 miles. I guess I did it. Perhaps, under better conditions, I can break 16 for 5k. Wouldn't that be something?
110.7 miles for the week.
