Another solid week is in the books.  It marked a couple of firsts.  One was my first “group run”.  I met two great guys (Richie and Drew) on Saturday morning.  Though I messed up the route and we ran a little slow due to animated conversation, a good time was had by all.  I’m definitely looking forward to running with these guys again.  I think it will make those long marathon training runs bearable.  Second, Alice hit a 6 mile run this morning.  She was also a little slow, but certainly not bad at all for her first 6 mile run.  My routing blunder on Saturday left me a half mile short of my planned mileage, but it was still a pretty solid week:

Monday AM: 2 miles treadmill at 8:28 pace + upper and lower strength training

Monday PM: 4 miles at 7:48 pace

Tuesday PM: 4 miles with Alice at 11:04 pace

Wednesday AM: 2 miles treadmill at 8:28 pace + full body strength training

Wednesday PM: 3 miles of intervals with Alice at avg pace of 10:23

Thursday AM: 6 miles Easy at 8:16 pace

Thursday PM: 4 miles with Alice at 9:30 pace

Friday PM: 4 miles with Alice at 10:10 pace

Saturday AM: 10.5 miles with Richie and Drew at 9:09 pace

Sunday AM: 6 miles with Alice at 11:26 pace

Total: 45.5 miles

Next week is another 46 mile week, though it’s going to more hectic than this week was.  I’m still basically in easy run mode, but I’m toying with running a 4th of July midnight 5K.
