The miles and temperatures are climbing
I was feeling a bit fatigued today from yesterday's strong run in the heat. I ran with the 7:30 pace group with the CARA Wheaton group (there were three of us) . It was very warm and I feel pretty good about our paces given the 70+'s plus the humidity.
11 miles at 7:28 pace - 5.5 out and 5.5 back on the Prarie Path
4 miles at 7:50 pace - headed back on my own after 11 miles
Total: 15 miles - 1:56
On Friday, I did seven fairly easy miles at around 8:25 avg pace.
Overall, I came up 3 miles short from the weekly goal of 46, pretty much due to the crappy run I had on Thursday.
Recap of 6/11 week
Mon - 5
Tue - 10
Wed - Rest
Thu - 6

This week again will be very busy. We are going to the BNL concert tomorrow night - then I fly back again to CT early Tuesday morning. Due to travel, evening events and the 10-mile race on Sunday, I will only be able to target 45 miles this coming week. I hope to nail the fifty mark the week of July 2nd.

BNL! My favorite band. They're from Toronto you know. Have fun!
Awesome job buddy. The heat was killing me yesterday.
Good luck with the 10 miler next weekend.
Great job on the long run, and a solid week of training. Stay hydrated out there, and be safe. :)

Keep up the hard work. I think Chicago this year is going rock for both of us. I just hope I can keep up with you...I am training to try!!!
