August 4-10
300min (~43mi), 90min LR, 1 Workout, 2xlifting. A great week of running despite all the schedules. Most of the added volume comes from having added another 30min run to the schedule to make a 6-day week. Followed-up a solid race last week with a 4x(5min on/off) on Wednesday. Mile splits, when available, were 6:21, 6:34, 6:29 and 6:17. Huge improvement over the workout attempted two weeks ago. Finished the week with 90min on the bike-and-surrounding trails with Dan in Cape Cod.
August 11-17
290min (~40mi), 90min LR, 1 Workout. Another excellent week despite the huge demands of vacationing. Got the easy days done through the Red Maple Swamp, Skiff Hill and Fort Hill, though I doubt that'll prove a very memorable detail in 2008 Fort Hill lore...Also managed to keep up with Dan for a 6x(3min on/2min off) workout on Wednesday and log a solo 90min on Friday. Optimistic. Slabbaj Shout-Out: To the SCRC studs who made sure we scored down in Edina and managed some solid races to boot. And, to anyone else who went out there and earned it this week.

Me and my friend saw a platypus
July 28 - August 3
<250min, 75min LR, 2xLifting, Hennepin-Lake 5K (17:37). I had been a little bummed about missing some minutes and missing some lifting, but the race on Sunday went a long way toward erasing any such concerns. Woke and warmed-up not feeling great, but managed a 5:52 opening mile with Phil. Then ran what I can only assume was a short 5:22 and a long 5:53 to finish. Very encouraged to have nearly a minute of improvement over two months with more running but only one workout. Great showing from SCRC as well! The long run was with Phil this week, up past Fort Snelling, where I'd never run before. The missing minutes came on Friday when a poor eating schedule and too much hot caught up to me 40min in to a 60min run.
