Rest Week

Mon- 4 miles at 15% on the treadmill almost all walking. 3107ft of elevation took 1hr
          3 Core Creek with Bryan
          1 Soccer at night
Tues- 4 miles at 15% Alternated run/walk 1 mile each 3208 ft of gain. Tennis after. So sore.
Wed- 7 Neshaminy
Thurs- 3 Treadmills 1,800ft elevation
           5 Neshaminy with Adam, slow.
Fri- 7 Treadmill workout. Killer workout actually. 1 mile jog (7 min), 1 mile sub 6(5:50), rest .25, 1 mile at 15% incline, .25 rest and repeat. Got this sucker done in 59:50. First time I've been able to do it in under an Hr. My thinking is next time I'll make the "Jog" miles slower so as the make the 15% incline miles touhger, ie I'll have to run them faster to make up for the lost time on the jog mile.

Sat-3.5 with Bryan at core creek. 2.5 with Brenda
Sun- 4 miles with Brenda at Neshaminy 3 by myself

Good week. Killer elevation gain. Over 10,000.  I call it Hellgate training :-)

Wierd week. Felt great to get to 300. I really didn't think I'd be able to but for some reason wednesday just went great from start to finish. Coming into august I'm a bit concerned. I really need to pick up my hill work and distance work. I've been doing so many double runs that I haven't strung together and 20+ miler since May. Not good. Time to hit the hills and longer runs before the semsester and soccer start. Hellgate is coming soon!

Well it was a record breaking week. My Joints are sore and my achilles is very weak but new ground has been broken. Given then heat and humidity this week I'm very happy. Most of these miles were very slow however. Can't in on every count I guess. 86 Miles is nothing to look down on though. Ever.

Bring it on July #theheatwillnotstopme

Mon- 16.5 in the mountains in France. Such a fantastic run. Killled myself on the climbs. the 5 miles descent at the end was murder. The nap afterward, superb.
Tues- 4 Core Creek,  After 22 hours of traveling I couldn't force myself to run any farther.
Wed- 5 Treadmill 37:45 8 Core Creek 1:03:15 So stinking hot I could just quit! No shirt and I was still completely soaked less than 2 miles in.
Thurs- 7
Fri- 10 Neshaminy. Almost an hr and 40 minutes. So hot
Sat- 7 Neshaminy morning "run" took over and hour I think.
       3.5 Core Creek with Bryan
       2 langhorne hills

Well, the heat didn't stop me. It certainly slowed me down though. Struggling through 1hr+ loops at Neshaminy is always a tough pill to swallow. But hey, 66 mile is still good mileage even if it's slow.
