8.5 miles on the trail.  Not exactly super easy, but no records were set

8 miles this morning.  15 minute warm up, then 10 x 3 minute hard, 1 minute easy, followed by a cool down of just over a mile.  The humidity wasn’t really that bad, but it took it out of me.  I weighed myself when I got back to the gym and I was 6 pounds lighter.

4.5 mile bike ride, then a 10 mile "race" on the trail.  It was fairly cool (mid 60s), but pretty humid.  Overall pace was 7:16.  Here are the mile splits: 7:14, 7:05, 7:02, 7:12, 7:08, 7:27, 7:38, 7:25, 7:28, 7:02.

I hate this week.  I think I am oging to call this one a wash, and hit it hard next week and then do a 3 week taper.

The conditions were tough this morning so I decided to just take it nice and easy, and get used to being on my feet for over 3 hours.  I felt good until the last 1/2 mile or so when the heat got to me a little, but as soon as I finished I felt fine.  It was tough to have to run so slow, but I am pleased that I didn't beat my body up.

Another easy one this morning.  Ran down to the University, did a few laps on the Clark Field track, and then back to base.  Hopefully my legs will be good to go for tomorrow’s speed workout.

Sunday - 18 miles today. First 10 were nice and easy, and then picked it up for the last 8 miles. They weren’t quite MGP, but pretty close ;o).
