I totally neglected to blog my runs last week but I managed to get in 25 mile in 3 days since I got my wisdom teeth out. Since Week #3 I’ve been hitting my miles, I’ve gotten some good fast paced runs in, and my legs feel great. Some things I want to focus on this week: #1 Scheduling cross training workouts . (Doesn’t mean it can’t be fun) A lot of my cross training is done spontaneously when I’m at the gym or needing to bike somewhere. I want to make an effort this week to plan out cross training workouts to make sure I don’t sl...

Monday - July 16th 2018 - Week #5 6 miles - Recovery Temp: 85° Weather: Sunny Summary: I wanted to do a long run today but ended up running with some high school friends at recovery pace. It’s probably good for me to take a recovery day today and grind a hard day tomorrow because I can’t run Wednesday-Friday. Ideally I would like to do 9 miles tomorrow, I might be forced to do those miles in the gym considering there is supposed to be a crazy thunderstorms. Body: Accustomed.

Sunday - July 15th 2018 - Week #4 4 miles - 7:00 pace Temp: 80° Weather: Sunny Summary: Ran with Frost and Bandler for a solid 4 miles at 7:00 pace. Took a tip in the Connecticut River afterwards. Was gunna try to do a backflip on the rope swing but its a new thicker one and didn’t wanna mane myself. Core. Strides. Body: Pretty good

Saturday - July 15th 2018 - Week #4 7 miles - 7:02 pace Temp: 75° Weather: cloudy Summary: Ran with Joseph and Matt 3 miles down and 3 miles back Rudsboro road from the Etna Church then I ran a mile home from the church. I also did strides and core today. We treated today’s run like a recovery run even though the pace was pushed at the end of our Rudsboro run and my run home was definitely training pace. Body: I’m feeling pretty good actually.

Friday - July 13th 2018 - Week #4 Weather: Sunny/cloudy Temp: 70° Summary: I was going to run at the gym but it was just so nice out that I decided to go run on the Rail Trail in Lebanon. Planned on doing 5 miles and met that goal. That brings my total up to 26.5 miles this week so far. I’ve been debating whether I want to do a long run tomorrow or not. I could definitely just bust out 8.5 miles and call it a week. Next week is going to be sort of harsh because I get my wisdom teeth taken out on Thursday. Wish me luck. Body: Sore. Need to do some more cross training.

Thursday - July 12th 2018 - Week #4 5.5 miles - Recovery Summary: Like I said in my last post these runs are starting to get a lot easier. Last week I kinda fell of the wagon being in Montreal for 4 days of the week, but I feel confident that I can get throigh this week doing 35 miles. Today I did a recovery run in Norwich with Joseph, Matt, and Daniel Bandler. It wasn’t anything too impressive. We just enjoyed a good trail run together. P.S. It’s my Birthday Body: good
