Week of June 27th - July 3rd, 2005

Monday 6/27
7:30am – I ran 66 minutes with Ryan Wilson this morning. We started at the house and then ran the TL loop. We were rolling 6:15’s on TL, and it felt comfortable. I then put on the spikes and ran 4x200m in 29, 28, 27, 27. Felt good, but almost all out. Afterwards I did some drills and ran 8 minutes back to the house.
12 miles

Tuesday 6/28
7am – This morning’s workout did not really work out to plan. I was supposed to go 5xmile, starting at 4:32, but I could not hit the time on the first one. I felt really heavy and sluggish. I went 4:37, and then Vig told me to just run 72’s and we cut the recovery. So I ran 4:47, then 4:48, with 2 minutes R. Afterwards I decided to do one last one in spikes and ran 4:32, again, not feeling great. I have to get more sleep, and go to bed earlier.
8 miles

Wednesday 6/29
8am – I decided to run very easy today and only go about 65 minutes. After the crappier workout yesterday I thought it would be best to back off on the mileage for a few days.
9 miles

Thursday 6/30
5pm – this morning I ran only 45 minutes easy. I needed an easier day.
6 miles

Friday 6/1
6:15am – I ran a track workout this morning. It was 8 x 1000m in 2:50 with R 2, 2, 3, 2, 2 minutes. I ran the first 2 with flats on and then switched to spikes. I ran them in 2:49-2:48, with the last one in 2:47. By the end it was really hot out already and Vig was spraying me down with the hose as I ran by. It was a pretty good workout.
13 miles

Saturday 7/2
10am – I ran 40 minutes this morning from house to shoal creek and a little add-on.
9pm – I ran 30 minutes easy around the neighborhoods
10 miles

Sunday 7/3
7am – I ran 90 minutes this morning with the guys on the Greenbelt. I was going a little too fast for them so they let me go ahead after about 15 minutes. I made it almost all the way to the hill of life and then turned around. I felt pretty good and strong.
14 miles

Week Total – 72 miles
