8:14/16 to 9/3/16: Final Weeks of Summer Training

Yikes, it's been a while apparently.  For everyone who cares, and there are...jeez...so many.  My bad!

So, I had my summer streak snapped.  I had 8 weeks in a row of 100+ mpw, but for the week ending 8/20 my total was 97 miles.  HOWEVER!!!  I played three ultimate games on that Saturday.  Now, I don't usually count that mileage, but I know that I run roughly 2.5m a game.  If I were to count it, my streak would continue...So I ask - do I count it?

here it is:

Tempo 1:43:31 13.18 PM: Commute home, then tempo with Joe.  Averaged probably 6:20/mile, but it was only for 3m.  I felt really tired all day and my right achilles was bunkish, but felt fine for the harder running.

Moderate 1:19:04 10.21 PM: 10+ commute home.  Ran into Tilden and went a bit quicker while he was on rollerblades.  I was going to go back out with Raleigh, but I was wiped out and I'd like to be in good shape for Sunday.
