Notes
This was a decently hard run. I went Senor to East Warren, then down the Common Road to Joslin Hill and up to Shaw's. The ups were placed in some rough spots, but what really put the nail in my legs' coffin was running down Joslin Hill; when I got to the bottom they were totally spent. Runs like this are a little disappointing because I can't help but look back to last year at this time and see how easily I was doing the same distance at faster paces. On the other hand, I suspect that in 4 weeks these 13 milers are going to feel much easier than today.
I'm a bit disappointed in the week as a whole; I didn't get out on Monday due to external factors, and because of the horrible heatwave I wasn't able to double at all. Next week I'm going to take it easy on the intensity, but shoot for 60+ miles, and I plan to start consistently putting in 65-75 miles a week through the rest of July and August.
