WEEK TOTAL: 78 MILES

Sunday: 16 miles AM: 0miles PM: 16miles saunders+ felt very good

Saturday: 4 miles AM: 0miles PM: 4miles philly ran along the river and felt god awful again.

Friday: 12 miles AM: 2miles shakeout PM: 10miles lehigh warmup 3, cooldown 2, 25:29 for 8k good for 7th. Splits were 4:59, 5:11, 5:05, 5:15, 4:59. First 2 miles felt very easy/relaxed. Started working in the third mile, and slowed down a lot in the 4th mile. Mananged to run an OK last mile. Only light wheezing the last half mile, so I think the medication is working. That or it just wasn’t as bad today, but I’ll keep taking it and we’ll see. 1 second PR on this course, so that’s cool.

Thursday: 8 miles AM: 5miles trail PM: 3miles trail felt absolutely horrible for some reason. Trotted for 3 miles. Not sure what the deal is, got the sniffles a little, I think I get a little out of whack in the transition from summer to fall.

Wednesday: 12 miles AM: 5miles trail PM: 7miles 6×200 warmup 2, cooldown 3 did 6 200s in 32, 35, 33, 33, 33, 33 felt very relaxed.

Tuesday: 11 miles AM: 0miles PM: 11miles saunders ran with group of goats. Easy pace

Monday: 15 miles AM: 5miles trail +drills PM: 10miles half hill loop half campus got to practice late because I was seeing the asthma doctor. He told me I should stop racing, and I said I wouldn’t. So we’re going to try to up my medication and see if that works. Did a reverse hill loop until the school after the first hill. Then met up with scott and vaslow and finished with them. Vaslow and I went up the last hill at a good pace, then Vaslow pounded the rest home. I added on 2 alumnis at a slower pace, I clocked one of the miles at 5:48, so I figure Vaslow and I were definitely going sub 5:30 pace. Did 2 miles relaxed after everything.
