Easy stroller run over to the park with Whitney. Tomorrow should be about a 10-12 mile day doing 12x400 and a short tempo and then I think the rest of the week will be 4-7 mile easy runs with a easy pre race workout on Thursday. Maybe I'll take Wednesday off.

I think my IT band is pretty much healed, I haven't felt it in a full week now and have done some pretty intense workouts. I think I'll try and hit 50 miles again this week and then in July my weekly format is going to be

Sunday- 8-10

Monday- 10-12

Tuesday- 8-10

Wednesday- 4-7

Thursday- 10-12

Friday- rest-4

Saturday- Long run starting at 15 and building to 22 by August

So that will get me 55-75, obviously I'll start at the lighter end of that. I'm starting the long run build a little late for a marathon in September but I think my base is sufficient. I still haven't signed up for the Huntsville marathon quite yet because I want to get some longer long runs in and get a feel for like a 20 miler first.

I'm trying to decide between running the USA trail half marathon championships in Moab or the big bear marathon for my final and biggest race of 2025.
