January through March sees an average of 170 miles per month. April sees 74 miles (44 of which are RACE MILES).  May sees 45 miles (26 of which are RACE MILES).  Only 49 non race miles run over April through May. 

It is time for a change.

I am planning 40-50 miles weekly during June through July. 

I probably will shoot for 200 miles during June. 

The schedule will be around 45-47-50-43. 

Daily runs are planned. 

9 weeks prep for the mile race. 

First three weeks of June: All “Easy” miles.  Light speedwork. 

Need to get fitness back. 

Next six weeks mile race preparation will see faster miles and more speedwork.

I have decided to not run the Hartford Marathon on October 12th.

Planned Races

Week 9: 8/3/13: Mile Race

Week 14: 9/2/13: New Haven Road Race

Week 15: 9/15/13: Gulf Beach Half Marathon

Week 20: 10/19/13: Mystic Run for the Penguins 5K

Week 22: 11/3/13: New York Marathon

Below are splits from today.  Was going for 9:30/mile plus/minus 15 seconds.  Ran earlier in the day because very hot yesterday.

I ran 5.41 Easy Miles.  AP 8:59/mile.  Was just running and figured I would get whatever pace came my way.  I was not focusing on keeping the splits at 9:30/mile +/- 15 seconds.  It is getting easier to run a bit faster now at Day 5 after long break from running.  Still, I should remember that the purpose of running Easy is to run Easy…does not need to be 8:45s to 9:00s…could be on the easier side of Easy at slower pace than that and closer to 9:30/mile.

I ran another five miles today with the splits being again a bit faster getting them done at 8:50/mile AP Doing pretty good with keeping the streak going.  One reason I decided to run daily: got a little tired of playing the maybe I’ll run today in case it rains tomorrow game, etc.  Now no thinking at all about when might be the best day/time to run.  I’m simply running every day.  Just figure out when to get it done.

Rained all day and night and did not get the run in today breaking the streak.  Went six days.

Dropped the car off for a 4 wheel alignment and went for a run.  I ran 10.75 miles at 10:03/mile pace in 1:48:04.  I thought I started the watch but I actually turned it off noticing this a half mile in.  Started it up and continued to run.  I got to the start point of the Irish Festival 5K route.  Ran that route 2.5 times and then returned to pick up the car.  I could not get out of first gear today.  No problem.  I may do another ten mile run tomorrow.
