One hour easy (8mi), one hour steady (8.8mi, avg 6:49), five mile progression (6:40,6:29,6:26,6:17,5:59, avg 6:22 for total time 31:51), one mile slow C/D. Needed a run like that. Solid, solo, and in the rain.
Totals: 107mi. Long week at work, even Sat and Sun all day. Used to seven days of doubles, but not seven days of work. Happy the long run went well, not psyched about the workout paces but I'll live. Grateful to be running moderately healthy with only slight pain in the hammy. Only a few short months to go!

PM 3mi easy
Sat: AM 6 around Green Lake. Flight to ABQ. Vacation over :(
PM 4mi in ABQ
Sun: AM 3hr long run at Alameda with Leen. 22miles total. We were banking on some Gatorade at 4mi to go, but it wasn't there this week. Our fault, we should have been more prepared, but both of us were very ready to be done at that point! Other than that no complaints. Icebathed and Pilates after.
Totals: 100miles for the week, one workout, one long. Really enjoyed running a bunch of rolling hills, instead of ABQ all uphill/all downhill running.
