I did a pretty good run this morning. I was only planning on 13-13.5, but I accidently went into a section of private property. The owners forced me to turn around and leave the same way I came in. Ahhh...lame, especially since I was really close to being out. The rest went fine, just a bit hot.

Really easy run this morning. I did a longer run yesterday and worked for almost nine hours, so my legs were feeling lead-filled. I didn't wear a watch which was nice. Whenever I wear one, I am consistently pushing the pace. If I don't wear one, I can take it easy and rest up.

This morning was most excellent for runnin'. It was overcast, 62 degrees and partially misting. Some secluded areas looked like a landscape from Lord of the Rings, which was pretty sweet. Granted, this also made getting up for the run about 5,000 times harder. I threw in some strides at the end to keep things fresh.

Today was the medium-long day. From now on, I will have one long run and another medium-long run within the week. When I start hitting workouts, I will have two/three per week, and the rest will be easy days (two). My coach wants me to get used to the usual CU weekly progression which is as follows:

Sunday: Long Run (20-25% weekly volume)

Monday: Easy run

Tuesday: Workout (either AT run, economy or fartlek)

Wednesday: Medium Long (roughly 80% of the long run)

Thursday: Easy run

Friday: Workout

Saturday: Optional for team (some run, some don't), so I am getting used to running every day of the week

This general format is used by coach Wetmore to really target all aspects of running, from full aerobic to full anaerobic. I think that a bit of time getting used to this plan will really help me once I make the team!

Really easy today to recoup from yesterday. I will probably do about ten tommorrow. I also threw some strides in at the end.

I felt really sluggish and slow today. Time went by pretty slow, too. I definitely need to take a day off.

Rest...finally! This three weeks is the longest I have ever gone without a break. Before this, I had only run a week straight. Felt great to rest.
