Week ending May 22, 2010

36 miles

1 day off

Supplemental work: 2 hours stationary bike.

Long run 60 minutes

Last 10 weeks' mileage (most recent first):

36, 35, 12, 40, 43, 38, 38, 43, 32, 26

Hammy a bit more sore towards end of the week. Taking it slow. All mileage has been at "Burdett Slow - BS" - 8:30 to 9:00 pace. Francis Burdett runs some unbelievably fast times with all mileage at about 9:00 pace, but he races a lot and does a ton of miles. Trying to take it easy to get ready for some harder miles for some of Pack. But if I'm sore it'll just be a training run.

Next race: Pack with DD and DaveLa (maybe Joe K). Perhaps last few miles will be at a faster effort.
