Welcome to Miami

Was a busy Sat-Thurs. In fact, I can't quite believe that it's almost weekened again. Trust me I'm thankful for it, but wow how time is flying. I can't quite conceptualize that its almost August!!

Sat and Sunday I did 4 mile runs both days, 41 and 42 about and then Monday was a day off. I flew back from Miami and its 98 degree weather on Monday am so I was a bit of a mess. Thankfully it was early to bed and late to rise.

Tuesday I had a scheduled tempo run. 1 mile warmup at 12min pace and then 27 min at 9:05/8:57 pace. I don't like 9:05 pace. Something about it. I prefer the 9:!3 or 8:57 much more. Its interesting. I stopped a few times to stretch but also did a 0.6 m 'cooldown' at 1030. Funny how 1030 used to be amazingly fast. Oh how perspectives change.

Wednesday I thoguht I had a 5 mile recovery run on tap. Luckily I did an easy 4 miles at a 1145/1130 pace. When I looked at the schedule I was supposed to do 3.5 so I wasnt far off at least.

Tonight is going to suck. I know life is about attitude, but bear with me here. 5-6 repeats of 0.625m (1000meters) w 2 min recovery in between at an 8:20-30 pace. Gross. THen I'm going to do yoga. Might as well exhaust myself. I did pack for the Hamptons so I should be OK.

Friday is an off day :) Sat is an off day :) Sunday is 10-12 miles. Gross.
