Training Aug. 30 - Sept. 12

Aug. 30 - Sept. 5 - DOWN
Monday - 12 (4,8)
Tuesday - 10
Wednesday - 15 (with two 10-minute surges + six hill reps)
Thursday - 10
Friday - 12
Saturday - 20 on Towpath - 2:04 - 64, 60
Sunday - 8 ... lowest day since May? Thought of it like a day off.

Sept. 6 - 12
Monday - 20 (12,8)
Tuesday - 13
Wednesday - 17 (5,12) PM 3 by 2 miles on track ... 10:26, 10:27, 10:07 (5:10, 4:57)
Thursday - 17 (11,6)
Friday - AM 15
Saturday - 10 before first day of class (9 a.m.-5 p.m.) at American University: a weekend MA program, Interactive Journalism
Sunday - Aimed for 16-mile tempo but didn't quite have it. Not an A day, for sure. I did this in Hains Point (the loop involving Buckeye Drive is a tad more than 3.2 miles), but I shut it down after about 4.5 laps. I wasn't looking to grind this, and my "feel" pace -- 5:46 avg. for this --wasn't quite translating to what I'm looking for. I was solo, but Emily biking beside me was a MAJOR help. So a 14.5-tempo run + 3 WU + 4 to get home = 22
Total - 114
