I don't have a base. Time to start building.
August 28th - September 3rd
Sunday - Long Run
15 miles
1:44.23 with Joe and Jose around Houston. Progressed the entire run and averaged 6:57 pace for the total. Not bad. I like keeping these relaxed.
Monday - Easy Run
9 miles
59 minutes around Memorial Park Loop and Trail. Really don't like the loop, but enjoy the trail. If only it were a bit longer than 1.5 miles one way. But beggars can't be choosers. Have no clue on pace, other than I know I got in 9 miles in the 59 minutes.
Tuesday - Easy Run w/ strides
6 miles + 6 x 100m
39:11 around Memorial Park Trail. 6 miles. Enjoyed running on the trail today - can do that for these shorter runs, but not for the longer runs. Strides were good - felt decent going fast.
Wednesday - Medium Long Run
12 miles
Met Joe and Jose at the Picnic Loop for my medium long run. They wanted to do 4 miles "tempo" at 5:45ish pace. I ran about 5 miles before joining them for the tempo. We ran 22:37 for 4 miles (5:39 pace) and then I added on another 3 miles to make my 12 for the day. Awesome morning and glad to have gotten in the run with some good friends.
Thursday - Easy Run w/ strides
6 miles + 6 x 100m
Nearly overslept this morning. But still got in the run in a bit more humid and hot of conditions. 40+ minutes, which I am equating to 6 miles, plus 6 x strides.
Friday - Easy Run
9 miles
65 minutes around the trail at Memorial Park. Had a middle 5 miles in there at sub 6 min pace. Good day of running - felt good.
Saturday - Easy Run w/ strides
8 miles
2 miles warm up w/ Joe, Jose, Jose, and Vaughn. 6 miles progressive in 6:37, 6:26, 6:06, 5:50, 5:44, 5:09. Was almost like an early fall morning out as a cool front was blowing in, but just kept it relaxed with the guys until the last mile. 8 miles total on the day. 36 minutes for the 6 miles.
Total Miles - 65 miles
