Training Log - June 11 thru June 17 - 2007

Monday - 6.8
7pm. Hot. Just put one foot in front of the other as steady as I could.
Tuesday - 7.5 + 3.25
5am. Warm up 15'; strides; 5 x (3' with varying speeds for each minute within the 3', I can't remember what they were exactly but mostly tempo, 5k, 10k with various combinations of each, this was my training partner's work out so she has the combinations with 3' recovery jog between each); cool down.

Life.
Thursday - 7.5 + 3.25
5am. Warm up 15'; 3 x 8' @ tempo with 2' jog recovery; 5 x 1' @ 10k with 1' recovery jog; cool down.
5pm. 3.25. Hot and slow.
Friday - 7.6
5:15am. Run at Springbrook Prairie. Nice rolling hills.
Saturday - 6.09
7am. Went to run with my church group but I guess I didn't get the memo that no one was going to meet today so I went off on my own. Splits: 1 - 8:26; 2 - 8:12; 3 - 8:13; 4 - 8:18; 5 - 8:11; 6 - 7:52, .09 - 46seconds. It was hard to get going. It was a rolling course but I just couldn't seem to get it consistently under 8min. Anyway I kept the perceived effort at moderate instead of trying to push to get under 8 as tomorrow's long run is what is more important.
8am. Pilates
Sunday - 14.12
5:30am. Very muggy with temps rising the whole run. Ran with Dan over a rolling course. We did well. 1hr 51 minutes. Splits: 1 - 8:46; 2 - 8:15; 3 - 8:06; 4 - 7:49; 5 - 7:35; 6 - 7:41; 7 - 7:43; 8 - 7:31; 9 - 7:29; 10 - 7:52; 11 - 7:46; 12 - 7:45; 13 - 7:39; 14 - 7:37, .12 - 1:00.
Note to self: BRING MORE WATER.
Weekly Summary
Total Miles: 56.11
Much better on mileage this week and nothing hurts, yippy. I really feel like I'm in a good groove. I have some days where runs are not the most comfortable but I really made sure I got my sleep this week and for the most part I felt strong all week. Hopefully I can pop up into the 60's next week. Only 4 pounds from goal weight!
