Monday: 5 miles (9:59). Quads were sore today. I don't recall having sore quads in the past from a treadmill run.
Tuesday: 7 miles (9:34). Easy miles with pickups in another hot afternoon.
Wednesday: 8 miles (9:08). Wow, 91 degrees this afternoon and still 86 when I reached Station Camp at 4:40 PM. 2 mile warmup, then 10 x (2:00 on/2:00 off). Ran the fast intervals at just under a 7:45 pace. It felt like more work than it should and made me wonder how in the heck did I ever run a marathon at a 7:53 pace? Will I ever get back to that speed? If it doesn't happen in London this spring, it never will.
Thursday: 8 miles (9:08). Easy treadmill run with the rain and hail out there today. Ran a progression from 6.3 mph (9:31) to 6.7 mph (8:57).
Friday: 13.1 miles (9:21). With another weekend trip, I put some extra miles in today by running 3 Baby Station Camp Loops.
Saturday: 4 miles (9:52). 7:30 AM flight to Philadelphia, followed by some sightseeing and a nice lunch with wine in downtown Philly. I did manage a short run in the Navy Yard. Low 50's and very windy out.
Sunday: 4 miles (9:16). Just a short run again today before heading to the Vikings - Eagles game at Lincoln Financial Field. Felt very old, cold, and achy to start with the first mile being 10:13. So I pushed the last 3 miles all under sub 9. Might take some time to get used to running in the cooler weather after such a warm fall in Hendersonville.
Total Miles: 49.1 miles. Not the volume you would want two weeks before the New York City Marathon. But I am just going to run NYC to have fun and it will be over 4 hours. But I am going to enjoy the streets of New York.
