AM - 2 easy miles with Sparky at 6:00 AM, then I came inside and ran on the treadmill. 12 miles total (so far), 7 miles at 8:00 pace, and 5 miles at MP (6:49/mile). After the last MP mile, I came to the conclusion that a) I am still a bit worn out from being sick and b) it was much more humid inside from running on the treadmill, which wore me out quicker. I know I could have kept going, but I would have been useless for today, and probably would have stressed my body too much to prepare adequately for the 1/2 marathon on Labor Day. I plan to still get in 4 miles this evening sometime to bring my total for the day up to 18 miles, total for the week of 47.2 miles. Next week will be all easy miles, probably 6 miles each day. |
