I hit my most weekly miles ever this week... 42 miles! Here is how it all worked out...
Monday: 5-mile easy run
Tuesday: 8x800m Intervals with warm up and cool down for 6.25 miles total
Wednesday: Relaxing
Thursday: 7-mile easy run
Friday: 25 minutes easy
Saturday: 20-mile long run
Sunday: Sleeping
The easy runs this week went really well. The intervals were a blast. I love 800 meter intervals. I did these at 3:40-ish trying to go a little slower than I did about a month ago when I was hitting 3:30-3:35 so that I was fully recovered and ready for Saturday's 20-miler. I woke up Saturday morning ready to go into town with the crew for the long run, but my stomach was just not agreeing with that idea. I didn't eat anything out of the ordinary the night before and I got plenty of sleep, but when I woke up my stomach was... well... let's just say it was a little overactive if you know what I mean. I had to call the crew and let them know I wouldn't make it out. I decided it was best to just run some loops near my place in case of bathroom emergency (is this too much detail?! - sorry!). Everything ended up working out well and I got in the 20-miles. I averaged 9:05 for the run too so I was happy with that. This is the farthest run I've had since I ran the Boston Marathon in 2007 so needless to say it felt good having crossed this one off the training list.
Saturday night I got to go out to dinner with my parents who were in town visiting from upstate New York. I like when the come to town. They like to come out here to go fishing on the ocean. We had a great time at dinner and they had good luck on the boat so everyone made out well.
