AM: 20.3 miles, finished strong with 3 miles at MP effort.

PM: 6 miles in the cool weather.  Just kidding!  It was 91 and 100% humidity!

Grading myself for week 3 (through yesterday/Saturday):

Mileage (B): I still feel WAY better than any other time I’ve been to 100mpw or more. Grade remains lower until I show some more consistency.

Speed (D): Again, the miles won’t mean anything until I start to get uncomfortable. I did run an okay 5k to end the week with tired legs to say the least and had some decent speed on Monday.

Nutrition (A-): On point, but a bit too much meat.  Once a day tops and in smaller increments seems to feel best.  Also, substituted broccoli for my filler vegetable this week- huge mistake, as this was the most farting I've done in a long time: 10/10 do not recommend.

Racing weight (B): Weight: 144.  Four more pounds this week, and I'm feeling pretty motivated about it, as I am getting close, so I'm excited to almost be able to fuel 100% of the kcals I need again.

AM: 11 miles, 3 of them fast.  Workout was 1600, 1200, 800, 3x400 with 400 recoveries for the longer stuff and 200 recoveries for the short stuff.  Started at 5:15/mile pace and sped up from there.  Felt very manageable.

PM: 8 miles, 3 of them fast again.  I did the same workout, but now in 90+ degree heat and sun.  I ran slightly faster than this morning, finishing with a 1:15, 1:14, and a 1:12.

AM: 10.35 miles, 16x100, and 2x800 fartlek style during the final 4 miles of the run.

PM: 8.1 miles on the treadmill, did a workout of 2:30 on, 90 seconds off with a 2:30 after every 4 intervals until I got to 5 miles.  Tired legs hurt my mindset a bit, but the workout was very doable throughout.  To be over 101 miles on a Thursday is a bit ridiculous even to me, so I'm not surprised I'm a bit tired.

Grading myself for week 4:

Mileage (A-): Very happy with my mileage.  One more week until I have a recovery week.

Speed (D+): I did do some speed, but I have to increase my effort and my times are pretty bad.

Nutrition (A-): Happy I can eat calories again.

Racing weight (B+): Weight: 142.  I'm down two more pounds this week, and only two until race weight.  I am okay with holding this weight.
