St. George Oct. 6th - Goal Sub 2:50
After 3 weeks of 70+ I hit 80 but I decided to skip any workouts per my coach. It was hot and humid for most of the week so I was thankful there were no planned workouts.
Mon - 8 miles
Tues - AM - 5 miles treadmill - PM - 9.25 road
Wed - 10 miles
Thurs - 11.5 miles - miserable outside

Sat - 18 miles - thought I would do 20 but it was too humid

80.25 Total
Chicago, goal 2:55

T: 8.5, with 6x(300, 200, 100)
W: 7 easy
Th: 5.25, abandoned tempo run
Fri: 7.0, 2nd abandoned tempo run
Sat: 8.75, with 7 at tempo pace
Sun: 18 (planned on 20)
54.50 total. Need to pick up the mileage, and get tougher on the tempo runs. Heat and humidity wiped me out this week.
I haven't decided if I am running a marathon to lower my 3:30 PB yet but I got in my first 18 miler this summer yesterday AM and it went pretty well- I ended up with the last 5 "hard" miles 12 through 17 being 7:45, 7:35, 7:30, 7:30, 7:28. Hey I was trashed (72 and 93% humid.) but I feel better today and am now thinking seruously about it. If I had held back I could have easily run 7:50's for 20 or more miles. I am definitely in better shape than a year ago- just stay uninjured!
54 Miles total for the week.
Ansterdam Goal:BQ at 40.
61 for the week with 2hr 10 on Sunday.
