Sunday
17 miler. Wind was out of the North, probably last time in next five months.
Saturday
Beach to Bay marathon relay. I ran leg four
Got hand off at 8:56. It was 81 degrees and 75% humidity.
4.71 miles in 32.36=6:55 /miler average.
Splits:
Mile 1.0-6.27
Mile 2.0-6.47
Mile 3.0-6.56
Mile 4.0-7.05
Mile 4.7-7.15 (pace)
Like most years, I came close to heat stroke.
Friday
Six miler
Thursday
Had 9 with 5 x 600 VoMax. Did 8 with 3 x 600. Heat was bad; I was totally soak after.
Wednesday
Did four mile recovery. Been going low carbs, with some extra long walks at night to reduce weight. It's working great, but lack of carbs are making workout hard.
This little four miler was tough; afterwards I sat down and ate two bowls of ceral.
Tuesday
11 miler with hills.
Went to do a four mile walk in the evening. About 1 1/2 miles into it, a jogger came by at a moderate pace and said in a gregarious voice, "Hot out tonight." I ran up next to him and ask how far he was going.
He said he had a two hour run; it turned out he was a triathlete. We exchanged names, he was Dr. Randy Fuentes. I told him that I had heard his name in marathon circles; he's been running seriously for about 15 years.
We jogged and chatted about three miles, and then our paths diverged at an intersection. I don't get to run with others much; it was nice.
Monday
Off-Did do a 4 mile walk to burn some calories.
