AM: 3.5 mile jog over to work carpool - about 30 minutes. Headed up to Purdue Campus with a carload of engineers for an annual conference - called Road School.
PM: 19.3 Long Run on Purdue's Campus about mid day - 60 degrees, sunny and windy. There was a ton of people on campus out and running on the awesome series of paved trails that go all over West Lafayette it seems like. I started in to the workout not really knowing where I would run 20ish miles (guess I shoulda go ahold of Jason Dodge! :) ) Workout was 3-4x4mi. @ MP. I had originally intended for this workout to be on Wednesday, allowing 2 days recovery after the double on Sunday, but took a look at the forecast and decided differently. Ended up with about a 2 mile WU and got in to 3x4mi. MP w/ 5-10min rec. jogs.
First rep I still didn't know where I was going and wound up on some muddy trail by the middle of mile 2 and had to turn around - 6:34, 7:03, 6:33, 6:37, jogged a half mile, and then rep 2 was much better - 6:26, 6:24, 6:27, 6:36. Jog a mile at about 8min. pace and then the last rep felt good and under control until that last couple miles in to the headwind - 6:17, 6:16, 6:24, 6:37. Pretty dead after that, and jogged back to the Union.
19.32 miles total - 2:15:07
End of the first 4-week block, with the last week spread out over 9 days.
