May 5th: Enjoying the rest day after the long run workout.
May 6th: A 9 mile easy workout on a weekday? Yeah, not going to happen (although I did look back at this week last year, for reasons to come, and I did it then, go figure). But I got in a little over 7 and reached out the Coach who just tacked on a few extra miles in the week.
May 7th: Another little rest day, love it.
May 8th: The workout was 6 miles at MP and then 4x400. I was worried weather was going to roll in and almost bailed to do it at home on the tread, but held out and turns out, I made it before the storm came into existence. It was a little humid which I'm glad for as I try to embrace the warm and heavy running just as something that is. The splits for the miles were 7:59, 7:57, 7:56, 7:58, 8:01 and 7:47. I felt pretty good during them and am still trying to embrace the keep calm at this pace and just hang out. The 400s were just run paces and those were: 6:49, 6:37, 6:48 and 6:40. I wore the MetaSpeed Sky Paris for the speed parts.
May 9th: This run was suppose to be 7 but after drama I only got to 4.5, I'm frustrated with this because it's due to an outside force. I don't think something like that, especially at this stage, truly matters, but it's really flecking annoying.
May 10th: We've been having a bit of rain and that was present this AM. I think I could have ran in the afternoon and been fine, but I didn't want to run too close to the end of the day with a long-ish run on for Sunday. So tread it was. I got to watch some TV which is nice and got to my 8 which is also nice.
May 11th: Long run day. On deck was 13 and, clearly, you have to go to at least 13.1 which I did plus .1. It went fine. Maybe a tad heavy with the legs, but I'm not too surprised with the last three days on the leggies. I like this time of the training, before the taper scares set in, where it's "only" 13 miles.
And now begins the weather checking and packing lists.
