January 27 - February 2 Training

Monday: 4 miles (9:10), 4 miles (8:59).  Finally outside for the Brixx run.
Tuesday: 10 miles (9:00).
Wednesday: 2 miles (9:09), 5.38 miles (7:45), 2 miles (9:28).  2 Mile Warmup, 3@7:30's, 4:00 SLOW, 2@7:20-7:25.  Was supposed to do another mile sub 7, but threw up twice at the end of the two miles at 7:20-7:25.  I think I ate too close to the workout.
Thursday: 10 miles (9:18).  Felt slow and sluggish.
Friday: 7 miles (9:21), 3 miles (9:15). Felt slow again.
Saturday: 10 miles (8:51).  Hadn't felt the best the last few days and started my long run with a 3 mile warmup and then 6 mile progression from 8:45 to 8:30.  Was supposed to be 14 mile progression, but after 6 miles I knew I wasn't going to make it 20 miles.  So did one last easy mile and stopped it at 10 miles.  Headache the remainder of the day.
Sunday: 15 miles (9:14).  Wasn't sure how many miles I would get in.  Started at 11 AM and it was feeling pretty good, cloudy skies and windy.  However, about 6 miles in the sun started coming out and it went up to 70 degrees and I was getting more thirsty the last 5 miles. I could feel it in my lungs breathing in after 9 miles, so cancelled the plans for 20 miles.  Settled for 15 miles for a decent week.  At least I felt better today.

Total Miles: 72.4.   Was expecting more miles and hopefully I'm not dumb enough to add another treadmill run tonight, but you never know.
