Whoops lost my notes for the day. I guess that's why you should save. Today 4:50 mile and goal number 1 accomplished post Grandma's Marathon. Now that I've broken the 5:00 minute mile and build up my mileage to 70 per week and made interval work a part of my weekly training routine the next step is to improve my 10K and 1/2 marathon performances. I felt good today despite the awful week of running in the heat. I felt a little burnt from my Thursday and Friday runs so I took Saturday off to ensure I could accomplish my goal today in the mile and it paid off! My accomplishments this past month included the following: 5:09 1600 meter race 5:01 mile race 4:50 mile race Built up mileage from 30-70 miles per week after recovering from Grandma's marathon Changed diet to a more vegetable, fruit based diet Dropped 5 pounds in unwanted fat and muscle Built up to 10x400 meter in avg 1:18 pace, 10x200 in avg 36 sec pace, 4x1 mile w/5:50,5:50 @ T pace, 5:24,5:24 @Interval pace Built the long easy run back up to 15 miles Avoided burnout and injury
