WEEKLY MILEAGE: 46
Sunday: 10 miles at 6:30 pace
I was pretty sore from yesterday's workout, so I went 10 miles instead of 12.
Monday: 3 miles at 6:30 pace
It was Monday morning practice, so I only went 3 miles.
Tuesday: 9 miles at 6:45 pace
It was very hot and humid, so we took it slower.
Wednesday: 5 miles at 6:30 pace
It was really hot and humid today, so coach decided to make this a recovery week.
Thursday: 5 miles at 6:40 pace
This was an easy recovery day
Friday: 3 miles at 6:40 pace
This was an easy morning run
Saturday: 8 miles w/ 3x1 mile race with a partner
My splits were 4:35, 4:33 and 4:50 and I didn't hydrate enough before the race, so by the time I was running the third one I felt like I was going to pass out.
