Sunday, 10/4/09--I made my way to Penn Oaks earlier this afternoon to lift. On the way I ran 7:37, 15:15, 22:38 and 24:49 at 3.3. On the way home, I ran 7:10, 16:50 at the 2.3 mile mark, and 23:30 at 3.3 (6.6 miles)

My total for the week, Monday through Sunday: 42.4 miles, a career high!

Saturday, 10/3/09--Long run #2. I have committed to doing 10-mile runs on Saturday for 4-5 straight weeks to push my weekly mileage up to 40. The first 5 were in 40:00, or 8:00/mile pace, the second 5 in 36:40, or 7:20/mile pace. Overall, the pace was about 7:40/mile. I was fairly pleased, although there were times during the run that felt harder than last week's.
