Monday
Bally Gym: 50 minutes - 7 miles
After a nice and slow start I managed to run a few sub 7 minute miles to finish with an average of 7:08 pace. Lefts were a bit thigh from the race on sunday but nothing to serious.
Tuesday
off
Wednesday
Workout at Eastie Track
Warm up: 3 miles
Workout: 12 x 200 w/ 1 min. rest
Cooldown: 3 miles
Total: 9 miles
Felt ok, a bit tight and rusty. Started at 34s and finished up with a 31. It wasn't as hard as I was expecting and 1 minute rest was enough to recover.
Thursday
Bally Gym
56 minutes - 8 miles
Felt ok, started a bit faster then usuall but legs were fine. tibia didn't bother me at all. Shins a bit sore from the prior day workout.
Friday

54 minutes - 8 miles
Felt great today, Started kind of fast but then set into a very comfortable pace.
Saturday
Workout at Bentley College
Warm up: 3.5 miles
Workout: mile, 2 x 800, 4 x 400
Cooldown: 3.5 miles
Total: 10.5 miles
During the warmup I felt awful. I was feeling real tight and kind of regreating running as quick as I did the day before. I wasn't really looking forward to the workout. I tried doing a few strides to loosen up but it didn't help. We started with the mile and the pace felt real confortable to my surprise and ended up taking the lead for the second half of the mile to finish in at 5:00 (2:31, 2:29). The 800's felt better. The first one felt a bit slow but we still run 2:24. I lead the second one in 2:22. The 400s felt really easy. The first one was at 70 which also felt really slow. I lead the remaining 400s at 66, 66, and 65. It felt way easier than the 200s I run on wednesday.
Workout Summary
Mile (5:00) , 2 x 800 (2:24, 2:22), and 4 x 400 (70, 66, 66, 65) with 4.5, 2.5, 1.5 minutes rest in between the mile, 800s and 400s respectivately.
