September 19 - September 25 Training

Monday: 6 miles (9:00), 3 miles (9:07).
Tuesday: 2 miles (9:22), 4 miles (8:22), 1 mile (9:36).  The goal was to be sub 8:15 on the 4 mile tempo run, but my current conditioning had trouble getting to that pace in the mid 80's temperatures.
Wednesday: 5 miles (9:32).  Struggling in the warm temperatures.
Thursday: 6 miles (9:14).  Ran indoors on the treadmill and it felt great.  I just need the cooler weather for outside.
Friday: 8 miles (9:04).  Another treadmill run to escape the unseasonably warm temperatures.
Saturday: 3 miles (9:22).  Flew to Charlotte today for a one night stay to go to the Minnesota Vikings game on Sunday against the Charlotte Panthers.  Had all I could do to sneak 3 miles in to keep the run streak alive.
Sunday: 3 miles (9:22).  I wanted to work in a long run, but sometimes you just have to enjoy your weekend and I just managed a quick 3 on the treadmill before getting ready to go to Bank of America stadium in Charlotte.  We did make it on TV:



Total Miles: 41 miles.  Not the mileage you should be running with only 6 weeks to the New York City Marathon.  With the cooler weather coming this week, it is time to deliver on some good miles.
