PM - 15 miles - progression run with a couple of miles close to marathon pace. Very warm and I became a bit dehydrated - ran the last mile easy.

AM - 4 easy recovery miles this morning.  I was a bit more sore than I had anticipated following yesterdays workout.  Nothing significant though.  

 

PM - 8 miles easy on a warm humid evening after work.

AM - easy 4.75 miles before work.

 

PM - long day - flight delays, arrived in Phoenix at 7:15 local time and went out for a quick 5 miles to shake off the day.  Good run.

AM - in Phoenix on business.  Got up before sunrise and did 10 miles total.  2 mile warm up and then 8 miles at MP - which with favorable weather conditions (less than 50% humidity) actually went very well.  First couple were a bit on the slow side, but the last two were too fast.  Averaged 6:48.

AM - 7 miles easy before work.  Did not get a second run in yesterday evening. When I got home after work, Delaney had invited the entire boys and girls cross country teams over for a pasta dinner.  Good fun.

 

PM - 6 miles on the treadmill at lunch - eased into running 5 miles at MP - which was very comfortable and not planned - but in case my trip to Gainesville over the weekend interrupts plans for a a long run with a fast finish - I went with this today.  Feeling very good this week.

AM - could not awaken early for some reason, so went out around 8 am on a very warm humid foggy morning in Gainesville. Not a day to go long or hard, so keep it light and did just 7 miles.
