OBJECTIVE
8 mi.@ 7:53-8:44

ACHIEVED
8.39 mi.@ 8:12

6:16 AM 81° 87% 1 mph

Inadvertently started about 15 minutes after the ChampionsFit group left the Y. This ended up being a good thing. While going out on this out-and-back, I saw several runners coming back. This gave me a chance to "go fishing" on the way back in. Reeling them in one by one. ha! Gave my mind something to do.

Next week starts the "Build Phase" of training. I'll be focused on increasing aerobic capacity and endurance. I'll also work on building "fatigue resistance" at 3K and 10K pace.

This one almost didn't happen. Couldn't run this morning due to some work matters needing attention. By the time I got away from the office, it was late. Decided I wasn't going to let the situation break my 28-day streak of consistent training. I felt a little uneasy finishing up my fartlek run at Memorial Park at 11:30 pm but I got it in. It wasn't the greatest run. I suspect the long work day and sloppy nutrition and hydration throughout the day didn't help.
