Monday – Ran a shorter run this evening…only about 4 miles.  I cut out the hill which usually adds about 1 mile to my run.  Consequently, I was back to the house in about 35 minutes. 

Tuesday- I met up with another Team in Training member.  She was fighting the same chest congestion I had the week earlier.  After 2 miles she felt it was best to call it a night.  I did another 2 miles along the river and headed home to celebrate Erin’s birthday.

Thursday- Track consisted of the usual drill withthe highlights being 5 sets of intervals.  2 minutes at the faster pace and 2 minutes of recovery pace.  Including warm-ups and drills I covered about 4 miles.  I was happy that my average pace on the fast intervals was about a 6:30 mile for a  sustained 2 minutes.  On about my third interval I was able to knock out a 2 minute interval BELOW a 6 minute mile pace.  That is huge for me! 

 Saturday- We met at Analy High school and hasd a run time of 1:45.  I figured I could push myself to do a total of 11 miles that day for an under 10 minute mile pace.  Well according to Google earth the course was closer to 12 miles than 11, and I came in at 2 hours even.  (For the locals, the turn around was Stony Point road on the Joe Rogota Trail.)

Sunday, I felt good.  Helped Natalie feed hay, and did chores and shot my bow out to 70 yards.  I have yardages marked out to 100 yards in the barnyard.  I’ll be ready for Bigfoot at the Western Classic this year!

 Weekly total 23.84 miles

Total for the season 98.09 miles
