AM - 21.5 Quail. One of those super-early mornings, to get the run in before a meet. Temps were still above 90 at 3am, but did finally cool off by Harrisburg with a little breeze off the mountain. Ran okay, put a little pickup in to 6:30-45 for a few miles and down the hill (.75 miles) at 5:15-30 to work on some quicker downhill at the end of a long run. Extended through Coral Canyon and my neighborhood, then ran Molly's Mile. Hip didn't have one ounce of pain. (Landreth orange 413.7) Another strongish week. I think my marathon speed is finally starting to come around, but it is going to take the full cycle up until SGM to be fully prepared. Goals for next week: next week should actually be a bit of a breather compared to this week (two meets, back-to-school night for the girls and for me, first full week of school, and workouts), so I think I'll just keep on trucking along - hit a couple good Big Workouts and a long run probably on Friday morning.
