Had a very solid week last week in terms of volume and workouts. Looking forward to a 5k this coming weekend and then a build up to my 2nd marathon!
October 9th - October 15th
Sunday - Medium Long Run
11 miles
75:10 in the pouring rain and lightning. Actually was in quite a panic as we were 37 minutes out away from the car when the lightning started striking! Wanted to get in closer to 15 miles, but obviously had to get in what we could with the storm! Enjoyed the run, even though it was quite scary running from the lightning! Ran at Terry Hershey Park and think I found my new training venue.
Monday - Double
7 miles AM + 3 miles PM
Wanted to run much more, but had a crazy day that I am so thankful for!
Tuesday - Double w/ strides
9 miles AM
9 miles at Terry Hershey Park before driving to Dallas. No double because of travel.
Wednesday - Light Progression
9 miles AM + 4 miles PM
9 miles w/ Kurt in the storm on Merrifield in the morning. Great run and glad to be back. 4 miles with some of the guys in the afternoon around campus.
Thursday - Double w/ strides
11 miles AM + 4 miles PM
11 miles at fish creek trail in the morning with a lot of different people. 4 miles in the afternoon with zach around campus.
Friday - Double
12 miles AM
2 miles warm up + 8 miles starting at 5:45ish pace and cutting down to 5:25ish pace + 2 miles warm down. Great run at White Rock Lake.
Saturday - Race
8 miles AM
Just did 8 easy as my hips are a bit tight. Just need to take care of the small things with all of the adjustments in living right now!

Stepping up.
Decent week last week. Wanted to be closer to 90 miles and would have if we would not have missed our Thursday double do to storms and our Saturday double do to a family event. Needless to say moving up this week if all goes to plan!
October 2nd - October 8th
Sunday - Easy Run
10 miles
10 miles in 71:14 - wanted to go long but couldn't stomach it, literally. My stomach was super upset after lunch and just had enough around 10 miles. Was helping Rachel with her "go" miles and then was going to continue with the cut down, but called it. Too uncomfortable! Will try to go 2hrs tomorrow.
Monday - Long Run + Double
18 miles AM + 4 miles PM
2hrs this morning - calling it 18 miles as it was a bit more than 6 loops. Ran the 1st nine miles with Jose, then added on three miles on my own, before finishing out with Sean Wade for the last six miles. 4 miles this afternoon with Rachel at the park near our house. 22 mile day!
Tuesday - Double w/ strides
10 miles AM + 4 miles PM
Ran w/ Rachel this morning on her workout. Did the warm up alone to go a bit faster, but ended up getting in 10 miles in about 67 minutes total. Not bad. Had 3 x 2 mile splits of 12:25, 12:20, 12:19. 4 miles this afternoon; or really just 30 minutes. Probably got in more than 4 miles. Ran around Blalock and Piney Point. 14 mile day.
Wednesday - Medium Long w/ up tempo segment
10 miles including 6 miles up tempo
62:04 for 10 miles. Included 6 miles in 32:14 (5:22 pace). Solid run, considering I was trying to be lazy and put it off until the afternoon. Warmed up for three miles before running the 6 mile segment. Only cooled down 1 mile as I was bored/hungry/had a headache. Might double this afternoon. Who knows? 4 miles this afternoon with Rachel around the tempo loop. 14 miles total.
Thursday - Double w/ strides
9 miles AM + 4 miles PM
74 minutes this morning with Rachel. Felt miserable and calling it 9 miles though it was more...I think closer to 10 miles. 4 miles this afternoon around the neighborhoods. Hot and windy. Boring. But done! 13 miles on the day.
Friday - Double
10 miles AM + 4 miles PM
1hr 8 min 50 sec this morning for 10 miles. 6:53 pace. Miserably boring run around the tempo loops, but glad it's done! Felt flat until the 3rd loop (miles 6-9). 4 miles very easy w/ Rachel in Hull. 14 miles on the day.
Saturday - 12 x 400 w/ 45" rec.
7 miles total w/ 12 x 400.
Ran 67-69 on all the reps. Felt good. Wasn't bad - little windy, but could have done many more in this range.
94 miles total
