Splitting hairs

is better than splitting hares.  Just sayin'

And there we go, 30 miles for the week.  This was a tough run for a couple of reasons; the first and foremost reason was the burning hot sun and 78 degree weather.  Thankfully, there was a nice breeze when I ran in a southward.  The second reason was...it was the backend of thirty miles!  That's the most I've run this month and the most I've run since the week of Aug 5th. 

Now for some rest then start the training schedule!

Monday: 7 miles @ 11:00 pace

Earlier than later, but still later

Set out on this run at about 8 pm.  It was cool, so that was nice.

I really wanted to get these last four days done to get my body used to running four days in a row.  I'm glad I didn't get lazy and blow one or more of them off.  Now, I get the reward of having Friday off and then:

Saturday: 8 miles @ 11:00 pace

Better late than never

Almost didn't get it in.  I started at 8:30 pm due to being called back into work.  Now it's 10:02 PM, which is 2 minutes after my bedtime!

Tomorrow: 4 miles @ 11:00 pace.

Stickin' to it

This wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, but I did it.  Now tomorrow might be a real challenge as it will be my third day in a row, projected high 70's, and 7 miles.  But I have to get it in!  I may decide to treadmill it, but I have to get it in.

Tomorrow: 7 miles @ 11:00 pace

Brand new week, unsullied by failure!

Here we are: a brand new week with a goal of 30 miles.  I plan on doing 7, 4, 7, 4, rest, 8 for the week.  This here is a good start, and the four tomorrow should be fairly easy.  It's the 7 on Wed that might be the tough one.

Tomorrow: 4 miles @ 11:00 pace

20 for the week

I was supposed to do 7 today, but...I didn't.  That makes 20 for the week, so next week, I'll be shooting for 30.  Yeah, a big jump, just what I was trying to avoid, but laziness will not be denied!

Monday: 7 @ 11:00 pace

Whoops, a little slip there

Yeah, I totally blew off the last two day's runs; that means that I get to run today and tomorrow for longer than if I didn't slack off.  That laziness is not paying off so well now...

The last 4 miles were in a light rain; on the one hand, I was glad for the slight cooling effect, and on the other, I wished that it would rain harder.  It wasn't as refreshing as a harder rain, but I reckon I'll take it.

Tomorrow: 7 @ 11:00 pace
