I've been able to hold the weekly mileage at 100+, but it has been a tough task. All of my commuting runs have been substantially slower than usual. And not only are the runs slower, but I feel like my form deteriorates awfully quickly if I lose focus. Don't get me wrong, I love the summer - but day dreams of that first run on a cool fall evening are starting to creep into my consciousness. I haven't been running as long as most, but I'm no fool - I recognize that the struggle now will translate come racing season. As it is, I'll continue going through the trials:
| 3-Jul | Long Run / Wellfleet 5m | 0:52:00 | 7.54 | AM: Wellfleet 5 Mile Road Race, 2nd place. Terrible idea to run this. Not a pounding headache hangover, but my equilibrium was way out of whack. I'll consider it a good tempo. | ||||
| Off | 0:47:25 | 5.01 | PM: Good trail run with Eli. Still mildly hungover. Ugh. | |||||
| 4-Jul | Easy | 1:41:48 | 12.5 | AM: Some on my own and some with Eli and Raleigh. Fun exploring run. | ||||
| Moderate | 0:00:00 | 0 | PM: Drive | |||||
| 5-Jul | Easy | 1:12:10 | 9.24 | AM: Extended commute at 7:48/mile. Rainy. Bloody nipples. Woo. Hoo. | ||||
| Harvard Track | 2:15:15 | 16.82 | PM: Commute home and to track. Really humid. 800/1200/800/1200/800/400x2 5k/8k/mile pacing. Really tough workout tonight. Gutted it out with lots of self-bargaining. Good. | |||||
| 6-Jul | Easy | 0:59:55 | 7.13 | AM: Tired and achy morning commute. | ||||
| Easy | 0:51:14 | 6.19 | PM: What a death march. Brutal humidity. | |||||
| 7-Jul | Easy | 0:58:12 | 7.18 | AM: Another brutal commute. Interrupted by a meeting with Albert to make it even better… | ||||
| MLR & Ultimate | 1:26:47 | 11.92 | PM: MLR from Newton to the ultimate game in Sudbury. Went quicker than I realized at 7:17/mile. A respectable pace on a hilly route and hot night. Then I played ultimate. | |||||
| 8-Jul | Easy | 0:59:09 | 7.37 | AM: Very tired from last night. 7+ at 8+. | ||||
| Easy | 0:47:50 | 6.23 | PM: Commute home then drive to Truro. 6+ at 7:41/mile. | |||||
| 9-Jul | Easy | 0:33:34 | 4.08 | AM: 4m at 8:14/mile with a couple strides at the end. | ||||
| Off | 0:00:00 | 0 | PM: Took out a bunch of stumps. That's work! The Kingston Bugbee's came by for a great visit in the evening as well. Good fun. | |||||
| 10-Jul | Long Run | 1:59:14 | 16.03 | AM: 16+ at 7:26/mile. Hilly. Not bad, Bugbee! | ||||
| Off | 0:00:00 | 0 | PM: Drive. | |||||
| 11-Jul | Easy | 0:55:25 | 7.06 | AM: 7+ commute at 7:52/mile. | ||||

| 12-Jul | Easy | 0:51:32 | 6.32 | AM: Commute 6+ at 8:09/mile. Albert interruption. | ||||
| Tempo & Ultimate | 1:18:25 | 10.58 | PM: Commute home then tempo to Ultimate. Very warm. 10+ averaging 7:24/mile. | |||||
| 13-Jul | Easy | 0:56:16 | 7.14 | AM: 7+ at 7:53/mile. | ||||
| Easy | 0:50:34 | 6.30 | PM: 6+ at 8/mile. Hot as heck. | |||||
| 14-Jul | Easy | 0:50:15 | 6 | AM: 6 even at 8:37/mile. Had a meeting in the woods. Again. Wonderful. | ||||
| Easy & Strides | 1:01:00 | 7.54 | PM: 6+ commute home (albert again. wtf.) followed by 10 Poplar strides. I felt really good on the strides minus a stray right foot clipping my left knee - almost biffed it going full speed on the pavement. Full array of drills too. | |||||
| 15-Jul | Easy | 0:55:56 | 7.11 | AM: 7+ at around 7:50/mile. Stomach still freaking messed up. | ||||
| Easy | 1:10:16 | 8.71 | PM: 8+ at 8+. I'm slogging lately. | |||||
| 16-Jul | Workout | 0:59:40 | 8.08 | AM: Fresh Pond 2.5 in 14:10ish. Pretty darn warm, and I just didn't feel great. Still - that's an ok short tempo. | ||||
| Easy | 0 | PM: Did a lot of stuff around the house, but no second run. |
