July 27 - August 2 Training

Monday: 7 miles (9:36), 5.01 miles (9:42).  7 x 10s Hill Sprints on the second run.
Tuesday: 13.1 miles (8:25).  I saw that it was 79 when I woke at 4 AM and that sent alarms to my head to do today's workout on the treadmill - after a couple more hours of sleep.  2 mile warmup @ 6.3 mph (9:31), 10 x (1/2 mile @ 7.6 mph (7:53) + 1/2 miles @ 7.3 mph (8:13), 1 mile cool down @ 6.3 mph.  I had to add the extra .1 mile cool down to make it a half marathon.  Who stops at 13 miles?
Wednesday: 4 miles (9:14), 4.11 miles (9:10).

Thursday: 4 miles (9:14), 6 miles (9:07).
Friday: 3 miles (8:55), 3 miles (8:55), 3.74 miles (8:06), 1.5 miles (9:09). The evening started with a 3 mile warm up and then 10 x (0:30 fast, 2:30@8:45ish), 1.5 mile cool down.  Ended up averaging 6:35 on the fast 0:30 and 8:30 on the 2:30.  With the low dew points, it felt good out there tonight.
Saturday: 4 miles (9:23), 4 miles (8:47).
Sunday: 20 miles (8:40). Solid 18 miles followed by a 2 mile cool down.  Temperature was 64 at the start, around 75 at the end.  Miles 2-18 were all between 8:30 and 8:40 after a 8:46 mile 1 warmup.

Total Miles:  82.5 miles. Second highest weekly mileage total ever and my 3rd at the 80+ level.  A good week of training.  As the temperature dropped, my speed is picked up.
