nice job on the long run. planning on any races in the near future? i have been following your blog...you are pretty hard core! all the swimming, rowing, running, etc. and your track workouts are excellent. keep up the good work.

PS: are you near boston?

Hahaha thank you! I would say that you are extremely hard core as well! I just started running about 2 months ago and have not entered any races yet, although I may try to run a half marathon in the fall. I actually have been feeling like I have been overtraining myself (I saw on your blog you feel like you are overtraining also) which is probably due to building up too fast. good luck going back to school this fall! I am also headed back to college so I am also feeling a little nervous. I am sure you will be very successful though!

Brooke:

No wonder you feel overtrained. You were back to your old tricks last week. Let's try one more time. Easy pace. No crazy rowing, swimming, roller-blading, or track workouts. Get your miles in, eat good food, go to sleep. Remember, the improvements happen when you are asleep, not when you train. Training makes you slower, sleep makes you faster. You do not need to train like a hero. You just need to train barely enough to create a stimulus to make your sleep count.
