Richmond Training - week of 09-10-2007

I am kind of making up my schedule as I go along for now and was going to make this a cut back week but starting the 22nd of Sept we will be in Panama City for the week and not sure what kind of running Iwill get done there so I went ahead and increased a little more this week. If all goes well I will have another week of increase in the upcoming week and then a step back week the next week.

Recap:
Monday- rest day

Tuesday- 6 miles before work. Nice run.

Wednesday- 7 miles before work. I pushed the pace a little harder than normal today.

Thursday- 6 miles at the same pace as yesterday.

Friday- rest day

Saturday- I had planned to get up and do my 17 mile run early. Our church is doing a marriage conference with Dr. Gary Smalley and we went to it. It was a Friday night/ Saturday thing. When my alarm went off at 4:00 to get up and run before the conference I matter of factly reached over and turned it off and went back to sleep. I woke up a bit later and went out and did a fast 6 mile run. The pace was faster than I have been running and it felt good.

Sunday- went out after church and did my 17 mile run. I started out way too fast but it felt good so I kept it going . I was done by mile 12/13 but still had 4/5 miles to go. I had to stop and regroup at 13 and then push though to the end. I did the walk/run thing for the last 4 miles but that is what I needed to do to get it in.

Summary:
Mon- rest day
Tues- 6 miles
Wed- 7 miles
Thurs- 6 miles
Fri- rest day
Sat- 6 miles
Sun- 17 miles

Total- 42 miles
