Thursday, Friday and Saturday

Thursday - 10 miles at 8:40 pace (1:26:42). 5 with the wind behind, 5 into the wind. Not much to report.

Friday - 8 miles. 6 miles steady, 1 mile pushing hard, 1 mile easy to warmdown. Splits as follows:

1 - 8:02
2 - 7:50
3 - 7:52
4 - 7:38
5 - 7:33
6 - 7:36
7 - 6:51
8 - 9:25

The 7:xx's felt unusually easy. The 6:51 was in no sense of the word easy, but I wanted to dip below 7:00 as I don't think I've done so in a training run before.

Saturday - 5.5 miles easy at 9:20 pace.

Today should have been my 20 miler but I started sniffling and coughing on Saturday afternoon, which continued all evening and into this morning. So I'll put it back until Monday, which is when I've been doing most of my long runs of late anyway. 20 tomorrow will give me 57 for the week which is a new high mileage week by 5 miles or so.
