Ladder intervals on the mill at MAFC. One mile at 8.1 (7:24), 1K at 8.4 (7"08), 880 at 8.6 (6:57), and 440 at 9.2 (6:32), with 220 jog intervals, twice. Total of 8.65 in all. Sweated like a pig, but got through it pretty well.
Finished June with 165 miles. Not great, but not bad as I ramp up for TOU. Figuring about a 55 mile week, maybe a touch more.
Still nothing definitive from Marathon Tours. I called them; they said they had my app and I'd hear something within a week. Oh well. All I can do is wait. It would be easier (and cheaper) if they turn me down, but I hope they don't. If they do, I may plan on Berlin in the fall.
Heard from Colene today. She says the chemistry is just not there for her. She likes me and she would do things with me from time to time, but just as friends. Fair enough. I'll move on with other options. Not sure chemistry was there for me either, but I wasn't quite ready to pull the plug yet. If she's sure, though, that's OK. |
