Ok, the engine is warmed up and I think my body is ready to get after some of the higher mileage that I've been patiently waiting for. I swear, I have the weirdest love/hate when it comes to logging more miles. (I never REALLY get excited over a run until past minute 15 once I get going, before then its whatever).
Monday - 8/18
Mileage - 12
Time/Pace-
Route - Berlin West Ridge Calling
Comments - Sweeeeet! I'm a fan of this run, as it takes me back to my Berlin Marathon training back in 2011. This time around, however, I'm incorporating more hills and track workouts
Tuesday - 8/19
Mileage - 8
Time/Pace - 56 min/ 7 min
Route - Foxhall Bambi Connector
Comments - Today's run started with a lot of spunk, and I hate the first 10 min of every run...I'm sore, my knees and ankles make noise, and I feel like shit. Usually after that I start to feel smooth/better, today I was just tired. This is an extension of a previous run that I've done, just trying to add more miles where I can, when I can, but besides that it was humid and I did get to see a fawn following a group of hikers...that was cool.

Thursday - 8/21
Mileage - 12
Time/Pace - 77 min/7 - 7:15
Route - Berlin West Ridge Calling
Comments - My legs are tired and depleted, it didn't matter what part of the run I was at...the beginning was a clusterfuck of hill after hill, and I struggled even after minute 30 (which is when the trail settles a bit), but the cool thing is that I saw some teammates right around the midpoint of their morning session. I tagged along starting at minute 37 and eventually made it back home. Knee is feeling a little better, but still sore.
Friday - 8/22
Mileage - 10
Time/Pace - 68 min
Route - Fort DeRussy 10 miler
Comments - It's a pretty relaxed run, trying to keep it on flat ground...super early! eeek
Saturday - 8/23
Mileage - 11
Time/Pace - 73 min
Route - Climb to Fort DeRussy
Comments - I attacked the hills again today, Saturday is a great day to really bang your body up! you have that long run on Sunday to chill you out...;) knees are feeling better and my legs feel stronger.
Sunday - 8/24
Mileage - 10
Time/Pace - 77 min
Route - Lincoln Dumbarton Loop
Comments - I went out nice and slow, actually kinda hurt the first 15 min...so it got dark as soon as I was into Dumbarton Park, looks like I didn't make it to canal. I turned on Reservoir and ran around Gtown until I made it down to the waterfront, it actually wasn't that long of a run but it kinda felt like it. Knee is a lot better but my legs are shot. :D Good night
Weekly Total: 63 miles
