Dallen

4+10.

I would like to somehow make it to 100 miles again this week. It is not very likely to happen. Actually it would be nearly impossible to work 100 hours, run 100 miles and still throw in some sort of mini taper for a half marathon. 80 is probably a more realistic goal, especially considering the high likelyhood of taking a goose egg or two.

10+6

6 on the treadmill in the evening with 4x800 at full speed (12 MPH - 5:00 pace). I'm not sure of the value of this workout. At this pace it really feels like I am being pulled by the machine. It was raining outside so I didn't feel like doing a speed workout outside.

6+10

24 miles. Average pace of 6:49. This is the longest training run I have ever done. It was also one of the toughest.  The pace was a little slower than most of my long runs, but I was also working off of very limited sleep.

Wanted to do a couple miles at the end at marathon pace, but my body couldn't handle it.

I suppose this run was just a couple miles short of doing a 2:58 marathon. Also a few minutes longer than I hope to be running in October.

pretty tired from yesterday

10+4

With the stroller in an absolute downpour. It rained so hard I lost both of my contacts from the water flowing over my eyes, or maybe if was from the squinting and blinking. Not the brightest idea. It wasn't raining that hard when I left. Thankfully the rain cover kept him mostly dry.

Somehow managed to hit 100 this week and still have a mini taper for the half marathon tomorrow. I'm glad I didn't have big plans for the race because it looks like it is still going to be raining a lot tomorrow. Mostly just a glorified training run.
