Week #4 July 9th-July 15th

WEEK #4 July 9th-July 15th

Week #3 was not at all what I expected. The sun was boiling hot at the beginning of the week making it difficult to run. After my long run day I developed a terrible shin split in my left leg and decided to take Tuesday off. Wednesday was the 4th of July. Thursday I spent the majority of the day driving and barely got any miles in. Same with Friday. Saturday I managed to run a few miles through the tight city blocks of Montreal. All this time I was walking 4-5 miles a day if not more to avoid going absolutely broke on Uber fares. And Sunday I decided that I may as well cut my losses after an exhausting day of travel and start THIS WEEK, Week #4 well rested and determined to meet if not exceed my mileage.

Monday - June 18th 2018 - Week #1 3.84 miles - 8:00 pace Weather: Raining and Humid Tempature: 78° Wind: 9mph Summary: Matt Bonner, Jack Lynch, Simon Herron, Daniel Bandler, Daniel Frost, and I met at the Garipay Fields around 3:30pm. Although it was humid and rainy we set off towards the practice golf course, crossed the road, and ran through Pine Park. I originally planned to run 3 miles today to ease into training, but since some of us left our shirts near the mouth of the Pine Park trail and we planned on doing strides at Garipay we ended up running 3.84 miles instead. I think the extra mileage will only help prepare us for the mileage boost in the coming weeks. After the run we did four quick strides at Garipay and headed over to the Mini Co-op for a snack. Body: I felt surprisingly fluid for not doing any dedicated running for two weeks. Most of the outdoor track season my stride and form did not feel very smooth, but after this recent break I feel my old rythmic pace...
