March 5 - March 11 Training

Monday: 4 miles (9:02), 6 miles (9:01).  First run at lunch time from the library. Nice and easy.  Surprisingly, I really don't feel any soreness/fatigue from the hard running this past weekend.  The second run was the Monday night Brixx run.
Tuesday: 8 miles (9:09).  Easy miles with 8x30s pickups.  The wind was very strong out there today.  The first 4 miles mainly into the wind averaged 9:18, while the last 4 miles with the wind averaged 9:01.  My left hip flexor started bothering me the last mile.
Wednesday: 2 miles (9:14), 6.86 miles (8:45), 1 mile (9:31).  2 mile warmup followed by 20 x 1:00 on/off, 20 x 0:30 on/off, 1 mile cooldown.  That was a tough workout.  The fast 30 minutes of intervals averaged 7:24.  I felt pretty good out there today.
Thursday: 10 miles (9:00).  40 degrees didn't feel too bad out there, luckily it wasn't too windy.  Probably ran a little faster than I should have, but it was feeling good.
Friday: 3 miles (9:08), 1.2 miles (6:54), 3 miles (9:11).  3 mile warmup on the Station Camp Greenway followed by 4 x Bison Way downhill repeats.  I just walked back to the top and ran the downhill sections with the GPS on.  3 mile cooldown.
Saturday: 5 miles (9:21).  Easy treadmill run watching golf on NBC.
Sunday: 17 miles (8:48), 3 miles (9:40).  Started at Shelby Bottoms with a 4 mile warmup, 6 miles at sub 8:40, 1 mile easy, 6 miles sub 8:30.  It was tough, but I was able to hit the desired paces.  It was on and off rain the entire run.  Went home for the cooldown watching Tiger Woods get second place.

Total Miles: 70.3 miles.  First 70 mile week of 2018.
