2/8 Monday: 7 miles in 53 minutes

Treadmill run at home.

2/9 Tuesday: AM: 10 miles in 70 minutes PM: 4 miles in 32 minutes

AM: Did 1 minutes pickups at the beginning of miles 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Felt OK during the pickups. PM: Did a very easy treadmill run at home.

2/10 Wednesday: 8 miles in 60 minutes

Easy run with Heather before heading to work. Felt pretty heavy and tired.

2/11 Thursday: 8.5 miles in 63 minutes

Did 6 x 20 second strides during the end of the run

2/12 Friday: 8.5 miles in 65 minutes

Tried to keep things very easy and relaxed.

2/13 Saturday: 11.1 miles in 76 minutes

Bradford Valentines Race. Did 2.5 mile warm up with Heather. Ran 5 miles in 27:36 for 5th place. Ran 3.6 mile cool down with Heather. See race report below for all the details.

2/14 Sunday: 15.1 miles in 1 hour 52 minutes

Felt very tight and slow to start. Keep things very easy and comfortable and let the run come to me. I ended up feeling pretty comfortable and the pace came down nicely throughout the run.

Total Miles: 72.2

Overall this week went pretty well. I got in the miles I wanted and some good work with the light pick ups and the race. The race did not go as well as I wanted, but its early and the faster times will come with more work and quality in the running.
