Easing Back After Illness

The week of 6/23-6/29 was sabotaged a bit by flu like symptoms, and this week was an attempt to get the mileage back into the 50's. It didn't work out that way though, as the weather was a bit too hot and humid to be effective with those miles.

Sunday 30-Jun  Long Run 0:08:01 12.08 Nothing like bonking hard on a Sunday run. The last 2+ miles sucked. Spent yesterday afternoon in the sun drinking and I was super dehyrdated for this entire run.
Monday 1-Jul  Easy 0:08:15 5.01 Easy 2 w/Raleigh, then 3 more keeping it easy. Resistance band 25x3.
Tuesday 2-Jul  Killer Bee's 6.95 ~4.5 at lunch at 8min pace + KB miles.
Wednesday 3-Jul  Hills/Double 0:08:02 8.70 Three hill route at lunch. Left hamstring tight from ultimate, and higher up on the hamstring has hurt since Escape the Cape. Plus easy evening miles w/Raleigh.
Thursday 4-Jul  Intervals 6.01 800x3/200/300/400/600/dnf - ran to Danehy at noon (I'm dumb!), really hot and I didn't have any water after the 800's…after I missed my pace for the 600 I could tell my legs were cooked. Been feeling worn down lately anyways.
Friday 5-Jul  Long Island 0:07:46 4.53 Tough to gauge effort - ran along State Park in Long Island and had no shade in  95 degree heat. Followed up the run with some swimming.
Saturday 6-Jul  Long Island 0.00 No running today. Did quite a bit of swimming though.

Thursday:
800-2:52
800-2:56
800-3:02
200-34.9
300-54.34
400-1:14.94
600-1:59.11

The heat at the end of the week hit me pretty hard, but I tried to just keep at it in order to acclimate. I normally feel pretty tired and thirsty - but I just try and keep at it and as long as I don't get dizzy or noxious, then I think it works for me.

Total Miles: 43.3
