Training 8/17 to 8/23

Monday 8/17: Planned day off. No running

Tuesday 8/18: 10.8 miles in 74 minutes

Early morning run. Did 12 x 1 minute pickups with 1 minute rest between each pickup. Felt pretty good.

Wednesday 8/19: 6 miles in about 45-46 minutes

Very easy run. Went with no watch so the time is a guess.

Thursday 8/20: AM: 4 miles in 31 minutes PM: 12.5 miles in 81 minutes

AM run with Heather, very easy. PM Saunders at Rye 10k. Warmed up 2.3 miles, 6.2 mile race in 32:46, 4 miles cool down. See race report below for all the details.

Friday 8/21: 8 miles in 62 minutes

Saturday 8/22:
21 miles in 2 hours and 26 minutes

Very early morning run, out the door at 5:45am to beat the heat. 10 miles easy in 74 minutes, next 5 miles in 32:55 (6:35 pace), next 5 miles in 29:50 (5:58 pace), 1 mile easy. Then it was off to the White Mountains to attend a wedding at the Mt Washington Hotel. It was a good time!

Sunday 8/23: 7 miles in 53 minutes

Ran with Heather at Lake Kenoza on the trails. Trying to beat the heat by staying in the woods.

Total: 69.3 miles

This was a very nice week. I got in a planned day off, a very good race, and I still got in about 70 miles of running with a nice long run workout on Saturday. Starting to feel strong, things are starting to come together well, just need to keep at it and stay healthy.
