WEEK TOTAL: 100 miles
Sunday: 17 miles AM: 16miles saunders+ very very slow. We’re talking don letts pace. I think as season progresses my runs get slower because the workouts get harder and I need more recovery, although only 1 real workout this week, so who knows. PM: 1miles shakeout ok, I think we all know I’m doing this run just to hit 100 miles this week. If being a mileage whore is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.

Saturday: 12 miles AM: 5miles trail PM: 7miles strides did 4 miles, then 3 laps of stride the straight jog the turn. Followed by 4 accelerations, 6 sprints, and a fast 300, then 2 miles back home.

Friday: 10 miles AM: 5miles trail PM: 5miles crazy lady+ ran crazy lady with goats. Got a really sharp cramp at one point and had to walk. Easy day today.

Thursday: 16 miles AM: 5miles trail PM: 11miles reverse mount pleasant did mount plesant with a group of goats. Were cruising at a pretty good pace and felt very good throughout.

Wednesday: 12 miles AM: 0miles PM: 12miles balls deep very easy and relaxed on my own. got a pretty bad cramp last 2 miles, just trotted it in.

Tuesday: 17 miles AM: 5miles trail PM: 12miles workout up3 down2, 8×1000 with 400 jog in 3:03, 3:02, 3:01, 3:03, 3:01, 3:02, 3:03, 3:01 very good workout. Felt controlled throughout. I got a little cramp on the second one, probably because my body was getting used to the colder weather, and not used to losing much water. No wheezing, but throat was dry and weird. I think this asthma stuff is definitely working, my lungs feel different, unless i’m imagining things, which may be possible. Anyways, i think i definitely needed something faster than race pace. I’m running Mayor’s Cup on Oct 22nd in boston, think I should be in very good race shape for it.

Monday: 16 miles AM: 5miles trail +drills PM: 11miles saunders ran with zach, tree, ian. Felt pretty good. Took it easy.
