Training Week of 8/7/17

8/7 - 30 Minute Cross-Train
I just wasn't up to do any working out this particular day.  Told myself I'll make it up later in the week.

8/8 - 3 Mile Quality Run
Went with a more intense form of interval training, alternating every half mile between my normal easy pace and a faster pace.  Probably could have qualified as a tempo run.  Got burned out after 2 miles and walked the last mile.  I could have toughed it out and ran the last mile, but I'm very focused on avoiding overuse.

8/9 - 30 Minute Core Workout
Didn't work my core this week.  That's two in a row.  I'll make sure it gets done next week.

8/10 - 3 Mile Easy Run
I told myself that I'd get it on Friday or Saturday, but with the bad weather (ton of rain this week), it just didn't work out. 

8/11 - Rest

8/12 - Rest

8/13 - 6 Mile Easy Run
Due to weather and other commitments, I saved the long run again for Sunday.  I was a little nervous as to whether I'd be able to go the distance.  Did a loop where I could take some gel and drink some water after Mile 4.  Was able to do the six miles, although the last half-mile was pushing me.  Nevertheless, mission accomplished!  At least I'm on track with the long runs.
