8/3 to 8/9: After this, Recovery

I have to admit, I'm pretty surprised and happy with myself for getting in the miles this week. As I've been mentioning recently - the summer can be a difficult time for me to get in the miles. But this past week I was travelling back from Long Island, playing ultimate on Tuesday, and then the Ultimate Tournament over the weekend. It would've been a reasonable week to not hit the mileage.

I ended up at over 70 miles for the week, as has been my goal - but Monday through Thursday...well, that's one of the more solid four days in a row of running that I can ever recall running. And with a total of 5 ultimate games not counting towards the mileage, well, next week will most definitely be a down week. I hate them, but they are necessary. The body must recover.

Da' Stuff!

3-Aug		Long Island		0:06:54		5.09		Just went out along the Charles after getting back from Long Island.
4-Aug		4-Hill Route/Easy		0:07:45		15.47		AM: Late morning run of 8.5 on the four hill route at ~7:30 pace. First 2m with Raleigh. PM: Met up with Eli and ended up running 7+ at around 8min per.
5-Aug		Easy/Moderate/Ultimate		0:07:40		14.30		AM: Commute to work. Easy. PM: 10m+ on my way to Ultimate. Ended up semi-bonking about a mile from the fields. Good thing I had a GU. Then I played almost the whole game...
