Quick update - More when the week is over.

3 miles tonight - all sub 8 minutes. The big tests start this week.

6 miles Wednesday night - 8:00, 7:57, 7:58, 8:09, 8:23, 8:39 - all averaging out to 49:09 (8:11.5 mile pace) If I can keep it up (pace fell off at the end due to a glute strain), I'm close to 3.5 hours; I only need to replicate this run 31/2 more times... WITHOUT STOPPING! 3, 6 and 11 still to go this week. Thursday, 3 miles on the treadmill (8:30 per, taking it a little easier) Friday is a day off!

Saturday's run was 6.7 miles out in the Heartland. Weather was sunny and brisk. 9:15 pace (a lot of climbing compared to the track). Tomorrow is 11 miles.

Sunday out and about around Champaign. 9:40 pace; I know I was supposed to go easy pace, but this was a little too slow. I need to pick it up a little.

This week - 3,6,3,6,11 - 29 miles (24+49+25.5+55.5+102 = 255 minutes or 4:15)
10/19/09 - 3,6,3,6,12 - 30 miles (24:45 (outside), 48:50 (oustside & dark),
10/26/09 - 3,5,3,6,9 - 26 miles
11/02/09 - 4,7,4,7,14 -36 miles
11/09/09 - 4,7,4,7,15 - 37 miles

It will also include at least 3 runs per week outside - average temp - 45 degrees, good running weather. It's serious now.
