I'm happy with last week's training. I got all of my runs in and hit 51 miles for the week. I hit most of my scheduled training times but still have some work to do. I hopeful that the warm temperatures and high humidity are dampening my pace a bit but I'm not resting comfortably on the that hope.

This week moves into the six-week "Peak Phase". The mileage will continue to go up both on my weekday speed work (pace will slow down a bit) and my long runs. The next three week's long runs will be 18, 8, and 20. After that (September 5 or 7), I'd like to run a half marathon but my work situation could conspire against that plan.
