MT W4 Results

Sunday:  Rest Day
Definitely needed rest after yesterday's 12 miler.

Monday: 4 Miles Easy (10:04 pace)
Result:  5.03 in 47:29, 9:27 pace.  I always feel good after a rest day!

Tuesday:  5 Miles Hills, no planned pace
Result:  6 miles in 1:02:49, 10:28 pace.  I was a little sore after Monday's run, so I slowed down a bit and ran several tough hills.  I told myself I'd be happy with a 10:30 pace, so 10:28 was good!

Wednesday:  Time Trial, no planned pace
Ending up resting this day.

Thursday: 4 Miles Easy (10:04 pace)
Result:  Combined yesterday's time trial with today's run.  5 miles in 47:52, 9:34 pace.  Time trial mile - 8:36 pace.

Friday:  4 Miles Easy (10:04 pace)
Result:  5.2 miles in 49:40, 9:34 pace.  The wind was blowing, but I battled hard and won!

Saturday:  10 Miles LSD (10:04 pace)
Result:  UGH!!!  I paid for yesterday's pace.  I had nothing in the tank this morning.  After about 2 miles, I knew 10 miles was out of reach. The wind wasn't blowing as much as yesterday, but it seemed like every time I'd get up to speed, I'd turn a corner and run right into the wind!  I think it was as much mental as physical today.
Lesson learned:  Dial it back on Friday.  I can't push that hard on Friday and expect to do well on Saturday.  I'll know better from now on.  Must run easy on Friday, must run easy on Friday!
