Week Deux - OR, I Just Ate An Incredibly Large Meal

We're not even yet out of summer, but the weather around here is finally calming down and sticking around the mid 60's. It's pretty much perfect for running, which makes me think I'd like living in NorCal, except for the people.

The second week of practices has been a lot easier - that's heartening, compared to last year. I think it took about a month before Jenn D. stopped crushing me in XC workouts in 2009. The group we're working out with is still fairly small - Saturday we only had Dan, Pete, Steve, and myself present. Colin's got to work Saturdays and haven't seen much of anyone else besides Paul and Andrea. We've got a few new guys who have shown up to practices but have not done any workouts yet.

Sun: 3 miles, 21 minutes - got back way late from NYC, just did something short.

Mon: off, IT band bugging me from driving so much

Tue: 7.25 miles warmup and cooldown

20 minute tempo at the res - 8:15 for first loop, 8:45 for second (whoops)

w/ Steve, Paul, Colin, Pete, Dan - stuck with Colin.

11 miles total

Wed: 8.5 miles, 62 minutes

Thu: 7.5 miles, 55 minutes

Fri: 10 miles, 72 minutes

Sat: 6 miles warmup and cooldown

5 x 4 minutes on, 1 minute off - about 4 miles.

With Steve, Pete, Dan - did most of it with Pete.

total: 50 miles, 352 minutes
