Week Ending 5/3

Goal: 65 miles in 9 runs with 2 easy workouts, a race on Saturday and a 13 mile long run.

Monday 10 miles. Workout with Dave did 3X5 on 2 off on IF. Good workout, just the right effort. I'd estimate we were somewhere between 5:15 and 5:45. Felt a little loopy on the long warm down. I think I'm still getting used to working out and 10 miles is still a really long run for me at this point.

Tuesday 8 miles on the Greenbelt. Felt a bit better than I expected after the workout yesterday. Took it nice and slow.

Wednesday 10 miles. Did 20X200 in 34 with Dave running the rest to finish the 400. Felt a lot better than running 10X200 in 35 3 weeks ago. Not a really targeted workout, but just good to get my legs under me. Got a little tough by the end.

Thursday 7 miles around the house after work.

Friday 7 miles around after work. Felt like I was up late boozing the night before.

Saturday 10 miles ASH Dash 5k sponsored by my work. Fun race splitting roughly 5:30, 5:20, 5:00. There was a guy with me until just before 2 miles. I saw him measuring out the first 400 before the course, pretty bush league move. I'm not going to get beat by that type of guy. Nice effort, pretty tired from what looks like a big week (for me for now). Also won $60!

Sunday 13 slow with Dave on the Greenbelt. I'm feelilng the effects of my biggest week in about a year and a few bush league workouts and a race.

Week: 65 miles in 7 runs, I really wanted to double to make this easier, but I just didn't get to it. Feel like I ran a good hard week. Happy that I ran every day.
