September 4 - September 10 training

Monday: 1.5 miles (9:46), 6.3 miles (9:19), 0.5 miles (9:16), 2 miles (7:49), 1 mile (7:34), .7 miles (9:49).  A pretty sad performance at the Franklin Classic 10K.
I felt pretty sluggish on the warmup, and my right leg was bothering me right from the start and it didn't seem to let up.  I just kept getting slower and slower, blaming my right leg.  When the GPS showed 5.22 miles, I knew that if I kept on the current pace I wouldn't even get under 1 hour.  So I wanted to test myself, to see if this was really a physical ailment or just mental.  So I revved up the engine and finished the last 1+ miles at a 7:45 pace showing it was all mental.  But I still don't know how to fix this mental game.  For Brixx, .5 mile warmup, 2 mile tempo run, 3 minute rest, 1 mile tempo run, .7 miles cooldown.

Tuesday: 7 miles (9:27).  Nice and cool out there this afternoon after the cold front came through.

Wednesday: 11 miles (9:09).  First enjoyable run in a long, long time.  Just felt so nice outside.
Thursday: 10 miles (8:37).  Plan was 3@Easy, 3@sub 8:45, 3@ sub 8:30, 1@Easy.  The last fast section had miles of 8:09, 7:53, 7:49, so I was feeling pretty good out there.  This week's weather is incredible.
Friday: 8 miles (9:41).  Kept it super easy today after yesterday's workout.
Saturday: 4 miles (9:33), 4 miles (9:27).  First run in the morning around Station Camp HS. Second run on the new Station Camp Greenway with pickups.
Sunday: 14 miles (9:40).  Should have ran early, but waited until after 4 PM after getting home from the Titans Game.  Planned 20 mile scaled down to 14 miles.

Total Miles: 70 miles.  It was nice to get a 70 mile week with all of the miles outdoors.  First time I've had a 70 mile week without the treadmill since May of 2016.
