Today's Run: 19.68 miles through Yarmouth (Home)
Time Finished: 2 hours, 42 minutes (8 minutes, 14 seconds per mile)
Type of run: Long Run
Miles this week: 46.95
Running sensei say, "Run long time." So I run long time.
The run felt remarkably better than I thought it would, knowing I hadn't run this long at once since the Maine Marathon. Oh yes, the calves are sore and bubbling, but I'm proud of the pace I maintained when the primary goal was just to finish the route I planned today.
2 weeks until Cape Elizabeth.
3 weeks until Somesville.
5 weeks until Hyannis.

Easy Means Easy
Today's Run: 9.01 miles through Bath (work)
Time Finished: 72 minutes, 37 seconds (8 minutes, 4 seconds per mile)
Type of run: Easy - relaxed pace
Miles this week: 9.01
The run was slower than what I've been doing the past few weeks, but there's a good reason for this, thanks in part to RK's advice yesterday.
Every so often I get myself into these stretches where I have a lot of energy and push my legs harder than I need to. I'm not at injury-risk stage yet but at the same time I'm not greatly improving my endurance as much as I'm wearing my legs down. A typical training week consists of a speed workout, a long run, and easy runs the other days. The easy runs are what I've been missing for the most part.
This week will be dedicated to getting myself on that more structured track, while there's still time to make adjustments. Less than 6 weeks until Cape Elizabeth, less than 7 to Somesville, and less than 9 until Hyannis.
