0 Days Off
8 Runs
10x1 Min Workout
16 miles w/ 4 miles @ 553 pace
This week surprisingly did not start off with sore legs. In fact, since I ran so slow at my race on Saturday, my legs felt rather spritely, so I decided to jump into a workout on Tuesday. I didn't write a blog this week for my minuter workout because there really wasn't much to report besides the facts. I ran with Caleb and Laurie in the morning, with no focus on the splits or the paces, and finished feeling like I got in some good speed. After more runs with fellow CRCers, my week culminated with a 16 mile long run with some tempo miles at goal half marathon pace thrown in. Brad and Laurie accompanied me on the faster part, and we shot off a little too quick, but ran 4 miles in 23:35, gradually dropping the pace. I pulled away from Brad in the end (he has a marathon next week), feeling the strongest at the finish.
As Meagan noted to me on phone earlier this week, we've got five weeks to get into good enough shape to run enough consecutive miles at this same pace to earn a PR. I'm encouraged that things are headed in the right direction, and I'm crossing my fingers that the air in Duluth will be much dryer than the air here in Charlotte. Summer is coming on full force as the humidity levels are beginning to finally reach what's considered normal.
