8/7/16 to 8/13/16: Summer Training, It's so Damn HOT!

Good grief, so humid.  Really, it's...it's...



This week was really challenging.  While the beard was long ago trimmed, I wasn't far off from the above.  I'm continually wishing I owned a scale so I could see how much water weight I'm losing with each run.  It feels like a not insignificant amount.  And it shows in the everyday fatigue and wariness.  The 8 lbs I lost on last Sunday's run now seems paltry as I would bet that's what I lost on more than half of my runs this week.

You want, YOU GOT IT!

7-Aug Long Run 2:03:56 16.42 AM: 16+ with Kevin at Battle Road averaging ~7:30/mile.
Shakeout 0:32:15 4.07 PM: 4+ shakeout at 7:55/mile.
8-Aug Easy 0:54;38 7.1 AM: 7+ at 7:42/mile.
Moderate 1:08:31 8.73 PM: 8+ 7:50/mile.  Did drills and barefoot strides across the street as well.
9-Aug Easy 0:56:55 7.11 AM: 7+ that felt meh.  My right shin has been a little weird the past few days.  Need to keep an eye on it.
Easy & Ultimate 0:52:22 6.57 PM: 6+ at around 8min per.  Really wiped out and shin is meh-ish.  Ultimate after the run.
10-Aug Easy 0:56:33 7.18 AM: 7+ at 7:53/mile.
Easy 1:18:56 10.01 PM: 10+ at 7:53/mile.  Why is everything averaging 7:53?
11-Aug Easy 0:55:31 6.56 AM: Dear God that sucked.  Worst run of the year.  So humid.
Easy & Ultimate 1:07:02 7.88 PM: Still TERRIBLE.  Just under 8m, then a full game of ultimate.
12-Aug Easy 0:57:21 7 AM: Make it STOP!!!
Easy 0:52:38 6.53 PM: I'M MELTING!!!!
13-Aug Off 0:00:00 0 AM: 4+ hours of cleaning, sweating buckets.  Jeebus.
Easy 0:38:43 5 PM: Late-ish run, but got in the 5.  It's much nicer out at 8pm.

No track = splits this week, but I adhere to the notion that Ultimate is a useful cardiovascular workout.  I just don't get any mileage out of it.  WHICH IS A BUMMER!

Total: 100.16
