Three runs today: 7:11 am sees a mile at 7:30 pace.  7:32am sees two miles at 7:43/mile.  And finally 2:28pm sees 8 miles done at 9:08/mile.  Eleven miles for today and 9 miles done yesterday has 20 being done this weekend.  Not too bad.

I attempted to go for a PR mile.  Best time for the mile is 7:09/mile.  I got this done @ 7:30/mile.  I was 21 seconds off from my personal best.  I ran this cold and next attempt might warm up for a mile with some pick-ups and then go for the PR.

I ran two miles at a pretty decent pace.  I got the first one done in 7:46 and the next one done at 7:41.  7:43 average pace for the two miles.  7:43 is my PR 5K pace.  The plan was simply to stay close to Tim without overextending.  These two miles were much easier to put together than the first mile run earlier at 7:30/mile. 

So these two workouts done today would be considered a Quality workout in that 3 miles done at what is essentially 5K pace or better.

Distance: 8.00 mi Time: 1:13:03 Avg Pace: 9:08 min/mi Elevation Gain: 586 ft

I was going for an Easy run (9:04-9:34/mile).  I was able to do the 8 miles at 9:08/mile average pace.  The first split was done at 9:53 and the second at 9:21/mile.  Legs a bit tired from the three 5K pace miles earlier in the day.  Going into mile 3 though, I am pretty confident the 8 miles will be done around 9:04-9:14/mile pace.  It is simply going to be another progressive run with faster miles at the tail end.  Not very difficult to run fast and negative split the run when you run slow up front!

Had forty miles scheduled for this week and got 36 done.  So I hit the 90% (I am content with 90%).  It is when I fall below 90% that I need to become concerned.
