91 minutes and 30 seconds

Sunday, 9/26--Penn Oaks run--out and back. I jogged out to lift for 20-25 minutes and ran back. Out to PO in 25:45; back home in 24:35. I haven't done this in some time, perhaps 2 months ago. Total mileage 6.6

Saturday, 9/25--went to Westtown School's track. Warmed up a bit over a mile. Did 10x400 with 400 jog-rest. Goal pace was :70; recovery at between 2:40-2:50. Runs were: 70,71,72,71,71,71,71,71,68,63 for an average of 70. Cooled down 1.1. Total mileage: about 7 miles

39.5 miles this week. (as of 9/25)

Friday, 9/24--easy 3.8 miles in 28:30.

Thursday, 9/23--about 13 miles. Jogged into town to meet crew at WC Country Club. Got there a little late this time. I saw the crew pass by before I could get to the corner, much less make the turn to the actual start of the run. So...my run wound up being about .2 shy of 13. I hit the 4.85 mark in about 37. I hit the 8.75 mark in 63 minutes. I got home in 1:31:30 (91 minutes and 30 seconds). I have to do the math, but this appears to be about 7:09 pace for the 12.8 miles. Can this be right? I've measured the course and it looks right. Also the run did feel harder than last week's.

UPDATE, 9/27--As it turns out, the 12.8 was actually 12.5! That's what happens when you measure as opposed to estimate. Oh well. It was too good to be true. Mile pace just increased by 10 seconds to 7:19. That's still pretty good.

If I actually get myself to the Country Club in time, I'd be able to tack on an additional .2 for 12.7 miles.


Wednesday, 9/22--took off
