walked 2 miles with two bags uphill from the train station. maybe shouldn't count as miles but 35 minutes in the heat with weights counts this week, esp when my mileage has started out so poorly. ran 8.1 (the stupid cemetery was closed so didn't get 9). hopefully the achilles will behave and i can run early and longer tomorrow. felt pretty good though...

I left my camelbak at your place. Maybe I can get it from you in the fall. Feel free to use it in the mean time. Except I have the bladder so that might be hard.

I looked back and ive had 4 full weeks at right about 70mpw. I don't really think I should increase it at this point though from how I feel. But I am getting antsy to do more workouts. So I think I am going to stay at 70 for the rest of the month and add the quality back starting this week. I did the long tempo yesterday and I could do VO2max tomorrow and maybe or maybe not a shorter tempo this weekend. What do you think?

i'll keep the camelback safe...

i would stay at 70 and just add 1 workout per week for a couple weeks and then 2. it will take time to adjust to the heat too. no point overdoing it, i mean you're already ahead of the game for a marathon in late october i think...
