Training, Week of 7/31

Not much blogging at all recently... I've been really busy and I'd like to go to bed reasonably soon tonight, so this post will be brief (but on time!).  I did manage to run 7 days this week, covering 51.6 miles in 6:19:11 (7:21/mile average).  The Thursday Track Workout went very well, a ladder from 200's to 800's and back down with two bonus 400's at the end.  Like the last workout I attended, I ran the final 400 as quickly as I could and again only managed to run in the 61-second range.  I think this workout was quite a bit harder, so I'm still happy despite the fact that I believe that I should be able to run under 60 seconds.

As far as total mileage this week, I started out well but my legs weren't recovering so the run length suffered towards the end, resulting in about a 10-mile shortfall.  I think that if my bad weeks can be in the 50-55 mile range, I'll be happy though and despite the fact that I put in 7 days I still count this as not the greatest week of training.  I've been hearing rumors of another corporate 5k on the 11th so we'll have to see if I get involved in that (I probably will) and how it goes!
