The week so far

Last night was supposed to be a 5 miler with 3 miles at marathon pace, 9:08. I ran a 1 mile warm-up, 1 mile at marathon pace, and then I crashed and burned. I ran a recovery 1.5 miles and then walked the rest of the way home.

Later I realized I was running in close to 100 degree temps... dork.

What a difference 24 hours makes! I ran the 2 miles to the track and felt fresh, my pace was 9:15.

4 800s with a 4:10 goal pace

1. 3:52 - oops
2. 4:10
3. 4:13
4. 4:00

I ran the 2 miles home at a much slower pace...10:49.

Total miles for the week thus far: 16.2; total for July: 121

I have slacked off on Push-ups this week, but tomorrow, I will be doing them first thing. I don't want to lose the progress I've made so far. Besides, I'm hoping that I'll advance a level and actually catch up with JD! (fat chance of that happening, but a girl can dream, can't she??)

Your "much slower pace" is what my fastest pace is right now. LOL! Considering it's so darn hot, I think you did a great job!

On second though, that is faster than my fast pace right now. Hehehe.

Ye of little faith. I will be on Level Four for several weeks. I am not leaving Level Four until I can complete the whole Advanced Schedule.
