Training Summary: August 25 - 31

Monday 8/25 - 16.2mi, 1:46:55.  Long Run solo on the bay.  Felt really good and pushed my way through the second half of the run, sub 6:30 pace for the last 75min.

Tuesday 8/26 - 10+mi, 71:15, with Di around the bay.  Tagged along with Di while she did her workout of some "short fartlek."

Wednesday 8/27 - 12mi
Workout:  ~3mi warmup, 3X5min at 5k pace, 5X1min quick, cooldown remainder of the run.  Felt good and definitely got a solid workout!

Thursday 8/28 - 11+mi, 1:15:35, with JLew through La Jolla.  Longer than planned but felt decent, hot and humid!  Happy 25th to me!

Friday 8/29 - AM 7mi, 50min, easy with Di on the Bay
PM 4mi 28:00, easy on the bay with 4X100 strides

Saturday 8/30 - 12mi, 2mi warmup, Balboa 4 Miler race, 6mi cooldown, see race report.

Sunday 8/31 -16.2mi, 1:51:25, first 45min with Di and then solo.  Felt a little tired but not too bad.

Summary - 88mi, 7 days, 8 runs.  Wow what a crazy unexpected week!  Did not plan to run over 80, let alone almost 90!  I felt pretty good coming out of it all and got in a solid workout and a good race.  Plan to take it a little easier next week but still pretty strong.  We have a week off from races next weekend so that will be a nice break.  I am happy with the week and I just hope it wasn't too big of a jump, but so far, so good.
