Well I managed to get through another tough week on the Pfitz/Douglas 18/70 program.<br><br>
The plan for this week was as follows:<br><br><b>Monday</b>: Cross training.<br><b>Tuesday</b>: Daily double. 6m recovery run in the am, 4m recovery run in the pm.<br><b>Wednesday</b>: Medium long run. 14m.<br><b>Thursday</b>: Recovery run. 5m.<br><b>Friday</b>: LT run. 11m with 6m at 15K to HM race pace.<br><b>Saturday</b>: Recovery run. 6m.<br><b>Sunday</b>: Long run. 20m.<br><br>
Here's what actually happened:<br><br><b>Monday</b>: I did my other exercise routine.<br><b>Tuesday</b>: Got out of the house at 4am to get 6m in before work on pavement. Then in the pm I did 4m up on the Merrimack River Trail.<br><b>Wednesday</b>: I did 14m on the Merrimack River Trail. I did a repeat on miles 3 to 7 which meant 8 hilly miles and 6 flat miles. I came back with 4 ticks on my legs. <img alt="surprised.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/surprised.gif"><br><b>Thursday</b>: Recovery run. 5m on pavement.<br><b>Friday</b>: LT run. 11m with 6m where I tried to run 7:00s, and tried to get the HR up to 180. I was able to get the 7:00s for the most part, but I couldn't get my HR to 180 no matter what I did. This was done on pavement.<br><b>Saturday</b>: Recovery run. 6m on pavement.<br><b>Sunday</b>: Long run. 20.05 miles on pavement.<br><br>
66.05 miles (planned 66).<br>
18 miles on trail.<br><br>
This up-coming week is going to be tough. The plan isn't that tough, but we are looking at our first full-fledged heat-wave of the summer. It's going to be in the 90s with high humidity this week. We'll see what happens. I still have 2 Mulligan weeks in the bank should I need them.<br><br>
Thanks again for all the support folks. I'm still feeling pretty good. The left knee is complaining a little bit at me, but there is no swelling or any signs of any serious problem. I think it's just a lot of mileage.
