8/4 to 8/10 - Back Over 50

This was a solid week considering I had a lot of other things going on - it's not always easy to find time, but where there is a will there is a way. Let's keep it simple - here is the data:

Sunday		4-Aug		Long Island		0:07:28		6.30		Started off easy (~8:30/mile) for the first ~2 miles then picked it up comfortably for the remainder of the run. Legs felt fresh after two days off.
Monday		5-Aug		Double		0:07:35		14.08		8.03m during lunch at 7:33/mile and 6.05 in the PM at 7:42/mile. Solid efforts.
Tuesday		6-Aug		Killer Bee's				10.73		4m to and from the game, and kept the Garmin on for the game. Good workout, I was pooped.
Wednesday		7-Aug		Intervals				10.25		(1000/800/400/400)x2 - legs are feeling really tired, but I was able to push through. Had to take a shitbreak before the final two 400's though…thanks bertucci's!
Thursday		8-Aug		Killer Bee's				2.46		Not much time or energy so I skipped the run to and from. Just the mileage from ultimate.
Friday		9-Aug		Recovery		0:07:46		4.05		A little bit quick for a recovery run.
Saturday		10-Aug		Fresh Pond				5.07		Fresh Pond in 14:21 - good for only 7th, but a solid effort.

Thursday Splits:

1000-3:40.28

800-2:53.49

400-1:15.47

400-1:14.95

1000-3:39.19

800-2:56.10

400-1:14.92

400-1:15.48

Not quite where I want to be with the times, but Monday and Tuesday were not easy - so I would expect tired legs. Running solo for these intervals is also challenging - I think both tired legs + solo is good for me though. It takes focus to maintain a hard effort solo, and there is such a thing as practicing focus too much.

Total Miles: 52.94
