Wednesday: 4 + 9 (6 @ tempo pace) miles Thursday: 8 miles

Wednesday:

AM: 4 miles easy.  A bit warmer than usual...high 40's.  Felt pretty good.  With a relatively easy Monday, I was expecting feel better today.

PM: 9 miles total, 6 @ 5:33 pace (33:21 overall).  High 50s.  I rocked this workout, probably a bit too quickly, but I felt good so I went for it.  My pace was actually faster than my 10K race, though this run was completely flat while the 10K was not.  Splits (1.5 miles):

8:35, 8:08, 8:13, 8:26

Thursday:

8 miles, easy/moderate pace, high 50s.  I did this run, reluctantly after waking up at 3am, going into work at 4am, and working on a very long tablet compression run.  Our manufacturing facility was having issues controlling temperature, so I basically spent hours standing in a poorly breathing tyvek jumpsuit, sweating my ass off.  Needless to say, I was exhausted by the end of the day.

Too bad I don't have time for excuses.  I did the run anyway.  My legs were not all that fresh, but I still ran at a good pace.  So far, my legs are in better condition than they have been (thanks to a slightly easier week), but probably not as good as I was expecting.  Once I get through this week, and knock down to 60 miles next week, I'm thinking I'll feel a bit stronger.

Gotta stay patient through these last days!
