Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
13.50	5.00	0.00	0.00	18.50

AM: North side - 4.5 miles, averaged 8:25

PM: 231 out and back - 14 miles, averaged 7:27 w/ 5 mile AT tempo: 6:58, 7:05, 6:50, 6:54, 7:05

Had to slow down a good bit because my stomach was kicking the tar out of me. Too bad too because I was started to feel really relaxed. Wanted another mile or 2, but at mile 5 Coach Stomach said to call it a day and hit the cool down.

Good job, Boilermaker! Keep up the miles - Carmel is flat and fast :)

Thanks, Joe. I am going to run into one of these days at the races. Thought I might see you at the Monumental, but I was a few minutes behind you even before I blew up around mile 21-22. I ran Carmel last year and found it hillier than other courses I have run, so I guess I have run some pretty flat courses :) You should check out Blues at the Crossroads in September. Nice little race and super flat.
