Mon - 6 easy 6:56 pace
Tue - 4.5 easy + plyos 7:12 pace
Wed - 10 easy 6:57 pace
Thur - 8 easy 7:14 pace
Fri - 8 easy 7:10 pace
Sat - 5K Race 17:41 36th overall (out of almost 7000) 2nd in age group, Including warm up and cool down about 8 miles for the day. I wanted to go under 18:00 which I made by a pretty decent margin. I got boxed in a bit at the beginning and spent most of the first mile weaving in & out of people so I think I actually had a faster time in me. On the plus side every mile got progressively faster and from looking at the results only 2 people ahead of me had a bigger gun time - chip time diffrential (mine was 7 seconds) so for all intents and purposes I didn't get passed at all during the race which is also a plus
Sun - 14.5 long run 7:06 pace - the best I've felt going this long in a long time
Total for week ~ 59 miles

Great race Hannibal.

Mandy, biggest week ever and still a fast 5k-- good work!

M- 5 easy 6:35 pace
T- 8 easy 6:37 pace
W- off
R- 8.25 easy 6:35 avg except 4X (3minON/2minOFF) in the middle. Abbreviated workout as it was just too early and I wasn't into it.
F- 8.75 miles easy 6:31 pace. Should have done workout this day as I felt GREAT.
Sa - 10 miles -- 5 warmup 6:51 pace, 4 mile tempo 5:45 avg, 1 mile cooldown. Felt kinda bad.
Su - 16 miler. 1st 15 6:35 avg, last mile moderate cruise effort 5:45.
Total for week - 56 miles

--Not bad for a travel week and coming off a hard weekend (5-miler previous saturday 26:56 and hard long run sunday). My easy run pace is getting really quick and easy, I need to work harder on my tempos now.
"Talent" is a cop-out for not wanting to try harder.

marathon - 2:28
HM - 1:09:53
10K - 30:57
5K - 15:18 (2nd half of above 10K)

Good work by all this week...There are days that I find it hard to get out the door, but knowing that my training is public knowledge motivates me just enough. - Thanks

M- 7 easy 6:46 pace
T- 7 med. 6:51 pace (Felt like I was going harder than 6:50 pace)
W- 5.1 Med. 6:48 pace
R- 7 easy 7:03 pace
F- 7.25 - Intervals + Warm-Up & Cool Down (6x800 @ 2:32 w/ .25 jog)
Sa - 7 easy 6:55 pace
Su - 14 easy 7:12 pace

Total for week - 54 miles

Had an Ok week of miles, but felt a little flat. I was pleased that I was able to run 6x800 with little problem. I can probably shorten the rest intervals, but will keep the total intervals around 3M. Plan to add a tempo this week.
