Tuesday: 9.4 miles (7:32)

Wednesday: 9.3 miles (6:27); 2.6 (8:09)
Tempo run, 50 minutes at T pace (6:14).  Probably my longest tempo run ever, I felt really good.  I would categorize it as "comfortably hard", but my breathing was controlled and I never felt like I was redlining.

Thursday: 8.1 miles (7:54); 3.1 (7:56)

Friday: 8.2 miles (7:22)

Saturday: 10.5 miles (7:50)

This was my longest run since my marathon at the end of February.

Weekly total: 73.9 miles
Well, I finally made it to 70 miles in a week.  It took me a little longer to get here than I thought.  My first 70+ mile week since November last year.  I also doubled for the first time this week, and I actually liked going out for my shakeout runs at night.  My daughter rode her bike with me and it was nice to have her company.

I probably won't do any workouts for the next week or two and try to hold my mileage in the 70s.

So, I ran a lot this week, but only made it to Jiu Jitsu once.  I can't seem to do both.

Weekly total: 41.6 miles

Very low mileage week, I did get a workout in.  But, no long run.  On the other hand, I went to Jiu-Jitsu classes 6 times this week.  So, I feel like that somewhat makes up for my lack of miles this week.

I've been a blue belt for a few months now, and there's a Naga tournament coming up in my area: U.S. Open.  So, I'm contemplating doing that tournament.

Not much to say about this week.  I didn't run any workouts, just a bunch of easy running.  Training is getting a little monotonous with no races on the horizon for a couple of months.

Weekly Training Report - May 26th-June 1st

Monday:  No running
This was my first day without running in 532 days.  I felt like it was time to break the streak.  Sometimes, I'd find myself running when I probably shouldn't just to get in a couple miles to keep my streak going.  It definitely felt weird not going for a run.

Tuesday: 8.5 miles (7:42)
I had blood in my urine after this run.  That really freaked me out, it's never happened to me before!  It was very hot and I ran during lunch, but didn't really drink before my run.  So, I think it was just due to dehydration.  I made sure to drink a lot for the next couple of days and never saw it again.

Wednesday: 8.0 miles (7:19)

Thursday: 3.1 miles (7:18)

Friday: 9.1 miles (6:38)
I did a tempo run for 40 minutes, just over 6.3 miles.

Saturday: 10.0 miles (7:32)
My legs were tired from the workout on Friday.  I never really felt very good during this run.

Sunday: 15.1 miles (8:21)

First long run in a couple weeks.  Ran about 4 miles before meeting up with the running group in Winter Park.  It's also been over a month since I've run with the group, so it was nice to see everyone and have some company on a long run.  Still want to up this distance to the 17-20 mile range.

Weekly total: 53.8 miles

Slight lower mileage this week due to taking Monday off.  Maybe next week I'll shoot for 70+ miles.
