44F, N 14 mph. 6:58 AP. Today was a 10-mile wave MP run. The goal was to alternate 6:25/6:55 for 10 miles. I picked a hilly course that was still a net downhill (~150 ft loss over 10 miles), with a heartbreak hill climb at the end. Basically the best I could do to imitate Boston.
10 mile wave MP - 6:35 AP. (6:24, 6:47, 6:20, 6:53, 6:24, 6:47, 6:18, 6:46, 6:25, 6:49)
The last fast mile (the 6:25) had the biggest climb in it. I crested the hill with 6:40 on the watch and essentially sprinted down it to beat the 6:25 guy by a quarter second! Anyway, pretty good run altogether. Very comforting to be recovering at 6:50 pace. I found myself running too fast on those slow miles a lot. I swear, if I don't at least break 3 hours this time.... | |

PM: 50F, 4 @ 8:53 AP. Barely had time, but managed to squeeze in 4 at night before bed. |

AM: 34F, N 11 mph. 15 @ 7:27 AP. Needed an interval workout on some weary, tired legs. I was pretty sure 5k pace was out of the question. So, I settled on a Tinman/CV workout that I knew I could take on (and recover from) pretty easily on Peak Week. The gist of a CV workout is 3 minutes on (10k-ish pace), 1 minute off (recovery jog). This conveniently works out to 800m on, 200m off on the track for me. So 8 x 800m, with 200m active recoveries. This was my 3rd workout in 7 days and in the middle of what should be a weekly mileage PR, so my legs had no zip whatsoever, but I managed to chug through all the repeats.
Avg 800 was 3:00.6 - (3:02, 2:59, 2:59, 3:02, 2:58, 3:01, 3:02, 3:00)
The wind was not terrible, but made itself known on the northbound straightaway. Overall, a nice conservative workout but still a great stamina builder on tired legs; that's all I could really ask for right now.
PM: 55F. 4 @ 8:46 AP. |

AM: 45F, SSE 14 mph. 7 @ 8:53 AP. Did some good plodding.
PM: 66F, SSE 23-25 mph. 4-ish miles, forgot the Garmin as I did a rare afternoon run after leaving work early. I ran for 35 minutes at a gentle plod and figured that would be close enough to 4.
Today Danielle left for the Maroon 5 concert in Dallas, whatever that is, so I will probaby have to treadmill it tomorrow morning and do my longer run in the afternoon when she gets back tomorrow. |

AM: 4 @ 8:34 pace on the treadmill (while shaving my legs and dissecting women's poetry). I'll hit the roads this afternoon when Danielle gets back home.
PM: 44F, NNE 14-22 mph. 13 @ 7:26 AP. Mostly easy, but with some vicious strides/sprints on the way home. I actually felt pretty strong today. |
