Notes

Good run, nothing too crazy... no need to do last week's run every week or anything! JD's workout for this week would normally be just 18 easy, but since I missed out on so much quality early on and I'm feeling strong, decided to do the workout that followed last week's workout in the plan. 2E-2T-8E-2T-2E was the prescription, I threw on 1 more on either end to get to 18. Went fine, no problems. A little warmer out this week but still an awesome day. Once again, water stops on 7 and 12 with watch running, 7s each. Changed my route a little bit so I could get a CR back in the last 2T... went a little harder just to make sure I had it, then backed off again for the second mile. Last 3 came nice and easy after that.

Standard stuff again, 48oz water before, granola bar and bagel, caffeine a little over hour before. One day I'll get started earlier...

Another big week with some good quality and managed to sneak past last week. Was tempted to go 20 to grab the 90 but opted for a little self control instead. N̶e̶x̶t̶ ̶w̶e̶e̶k̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶f̶i̶r̶s̶t̶ ̶w̶e̶e̶k̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶c̶u̶t̶s̶.̶ ̶Don't need to cut quite yet. I'm responding well and another week would seem to benefit more than hurt considering how late I really got going. Right now looking at 8̶0̶-̶7̶0̶-̶6̶0̶-̶4̶5̶ ̶(̶m̶a̶r̶a̶t̶h̶o̶n̶ ̶n̶e̶x̶t̶ ̶d̶a̶y̶)̶ 85+ - 80 - 70 - 70 (7 days w/o LR plus marathon) but may do a little plan comparing before I finalize anything. Excited!

Nice stuff Paul. Don't drop below 60!

Thanks, just glad to be mostly healthy. The 45 is just because the marathon is on a Monday, so it's a week without a LR and seems way shorter... but yeah I've been nervous of making too big of cuts since I'm responding well to the mileage. I'll aim a little higher, pretty much picked arbitrarily for now.
