One Long Run Down, 17 to Go

Well the first week of training for Twin Cities is officially in the books. It was a good week, except that start was extremely hot and humid, and I was too lazy to get up early to run. I manged 71 miles, but without any speedwork. I have another easy week of running, before the speedwork starts.

Su - 6/4 recovery
M - 7 easy w/strides (supposed to be 8)
Tu - 13 easy (hilly/7:46/mile)
W - 6 recovery
Th - 12 easy (7:42/mile)
F - 6 recovery
Sa - 17 long run (7:47/mile)

The long run was pretty uneventful. It felt pretty good and I tried to hit all the hills possible. I have to make sure to continue with the hills. I was going to race an 8k on Sunday morning, but a few too many beers the night before put an end to that idea. Fish and chips and beer are so good the night after a long run.

This weekend I'll be in Milwaukee for the Jimmy Buffett concert. For some reason I don't think I'm going to get every mile in. Maybe an easy six on Saturday, then a two hour run along the lakeshore. We'll have to see.
