July 18 - July 24 Training

Monday: 6 miles (9:41).  Last cool morning run in Sonoma before heading back to Tennessee.
Tuesday: 4 miles (9:25), 3 miles (10:08), 4.51 miles (9:09).   Easy 4 mile run in the morning.  Pretty humid after being in California.  Unbearable heat in the afternoon.  After 1.5 miles, I turned back towards the library with a storm rolling in and got back just in time before the heavy downpour.  Went back out in the early evening to finish off the miles and it was much cooler out.
Wednesday: 3 miles (9:27), 10 miles (8:59).  10 mile run on the treadmill included 2 mile warmup, 4 miles 8:45-8:30, 1 easy, 2 sub 8:20, 1 cooldown.
Thursday: 3 miles (10:22), 3 miles (9:53).  Brutally hot outside.
Friday:3 miles (9:30), 4 miles (9:30).  Treadmill running.
Saturday:2 miles (9:48), 1 mile (9:11), 4.01 miles (7:52), 5 miles (8:59).  Ran the Goodlettsville 4 Miler on Saturday morning.  It was around 77-79 at the start with 74 dew point.  Very tough conditions.  I knew I would have to keep focused to beat my PR there from 2013.  But I hung on at the end for 31:34 and a 6 second PR, first place Age Group.
Sunday: 9 miles (9:18), 3 miles (9:10).  Got an early start on the 6@6 Starbucks group and then circled back to Starbucks at 6.  Felt out of gas after 9 miles, having had 0 calories and was pretty thirsty. Had planned on 6 miles on my second run at Moss Wright Park, but it rained just before I arrived there and it was very steamy out.  After the 3 mile out and back, that was enough!

Total Miles: 67.5 miles.  Biggest week since May 30-June 5, so I'll take it.  I wanted 70 miles, but it was just wasn't in the cards with this week's humidity.
