Last week began the Build 1 Phase of training. I had a good week as I logged a little over 40 miles for the first time in three weeks and recorded a 12-mile long run. I did feel a little worn down late in the week. I just need to be more aware of my sleep requirements as the mileage builds.

Build 1 Phase continues this week. Although I'm altering the schedule a bit to accommodate the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta on Saturday. I'm actually two weeks ahead of schedule for this tune-up race and the original schedule only calls for a 5K. However I wanted to run Peachtree and got pulled in the lottery. I still plan to keep the intensity this week but I'll be a bit short on mileage. I've also front loaded the training week in an effort to give myself a slight recovery opportunity prior to Saturday's race. I'm curious to see how Saturday goes. The weather conditions, course, and crowd should preclude a PR opportunity so I'm just looking for a solid, even race with the opportunity to gauge my fitness.
