Week of July 29:
Mon: AM BRESSON IS HOME! Sports massage bright and early, and couldn't be happier about it! Followed by 4mi easy.
PM 8mi on the mill 8min pace. Foam roll city.
Tues: AM 7mi total. Realized that some of my chafage issue was more due to doubling the dose of laundry detergent in the loads. Chemical burn. Had to quit the workout and could barely even go to work. Red welts that were NOT like typical chafage. #Runnerproblems :)
Wed: AM 7 easy
Lunch 5 at sub 7:30
PM 7 easy
Thur: AM 100min progression. 13mi total. Terribly humid and we tried to bring it down in the second 50min, but really couldn't get lower than 7:30. Crazy because the day before on easy runs, 7:00 was no prob.
PM 7mi easy
Fri: AM 10mi easy with Rich and Phil around Academy
PM 4mi easy "running" errands
Sat: 27mi easy. Longest run eva! 3:31:59
Sun: La Luz SPECTATING. Makes this all worth it. Great day. 6.5on the mill mid-afternoon.
PM 6.5 with LeenBug, 10x30sec fast turnover workout.
Totals: 112. Terrible week of workouts but WONDERFUL long run. Felt awesome through it all. I knowwww I shouldn't have made up miles on Wed, but I don't think that is why Thursday's workout went bad. Really, I think it was all weather based, 82% humidity. Anyways, Seawheeze 13.1 next week. Here we come Vancouver!

Totals: 112 miles. Workout Tuesday was awesome, comfortable, strong, and just what I needed. Long run, not fab, but have to be smarter about fueling. No aches and pains, doing 25min of strength 3x/week. Yay for racing next week!!!!
Week of July 8:

Fast was around 5:25pace, marathon pace ranged from 6:05-6:35 (avg around 6:20). Felt sluggish, but hit the paces. 5min jog, 6x100strides, C/D. ~9.5miles. Loved this workout.

Lunch 2.5mi in the SUN
PM 2.5mi on mill with light abs
Thur: AM 5am start for a 3 hour run. Didn't go as planned. Made it through 2:30 before having to go to work, so 19miles instead of the planned 23-24. Decided to make it a double day, running on tired legs in the afternoon, but still much faster pace than this mornings run!

Fri: 3miles at 4AM before flight to NASHVILLE
PM 7 miles with TK around Nashville

Sun: AM 5mi easy, had planned on 10 but ran out of time. PM flight back to ABQ
Totals: 100miles. Not psyched about how the long run went. Going to have a solid three weeks in ABQ with no travel, looking forward to some normalcy and consistency. Women's Distance Fest coming up and then Vancouver!
Week of July 1:
Mon: AM early massage with Bresson. ouch.
PM 10.5 easy but windy miles around Academy with the ladies. Light glute/core after.
Tues: AM workout at Academy with Dukes. 13+mi total. W/U, 6x100strides, 5xmin fast/min easy, 5min jog, 12min at marathon pace (was shooting for 6:15, could only squeeze out 6:25s), 5min progression from slow to fast leading into a second 12min interval at MP (again, 6:25), 6x100strides, C/D. Felt average. Didn't have a pacer this week, like last week, first interval felt good and second...hard. Racing Thursday so we will see how that feels!
PM Strength session one hour with Jessica, 2.5mi easy run afterwards.
Wed: AM 10mi early around Academy
PM FLY TO BOSTON!
Thur: AM York, Maine Four on the Fourth. 11mi total. Second female. First mile, 6flat, last mile 6:40. Average 6:22. Hot, humid day. Satisfactory first race since Boston. Attempted a workout afterwards, as instructed...had to call and get a ride home. Tough day!
Fri: AM 12 miles with Matt. Hot. Humid. Not sore at all from yesterday.
Sat: AM 22 miles, 2:52 total. Stopped at mile 15 for a cold shower and a change of clothes. Brutal day number three.
Sun: AM 8miles easy with 10x30second turnover
Totals: 89 miles total. Eleven short of my goal for the week. New respect for humidity and heat. I'm never one to miss out on EASY SLOW miles, I can normally always squeeze it in somehow...but...this time around, it was too much physiologically for me. Workouts at 6K feet are faster and feel easier than New England sea level humidity! Hoping for a better week!
