Entry #1 July 25-31
Monday, July 25:
This was my first day down at the beach so I tried to find some places I could get some good runs in. I found a park with a few different loops and did five miles at around 6:30 pace.
Tuesday, July 26:
I went for a night run after going surfing. Being pretty tired from surfing, I only did 3.5 miles at 6:00 pace.
Wednesday, July 27:
The weather was terrible and I didn't have much time to go for a run, so I decided to do a mile time trial. I was feeling about 90% and I ran 4:52.
Thursday, July 28:
Due to bad weather again, I didn't get a run in, so I did a core workout.
Friday, July 29:
With my mileage being pretty low this week, I went for a seven mile run around a nearby park. My pace for this run was around 7:05-7:10.
Saturday, July 30:
I treated today as a recovery run because I was pretty sore after my run on Friday, as well as hours of Spikeball on the beach. I did five miles at an easy 6:45 pace.
Sunday, July 31:
I usually take Sundays off to let my body fully recover before going into the next week of training.
So far this summer I haven't done too much mileage because I've done a lot of cross training, including swimming and many basketball workouts. I do this to keep my heart rate up and work on endurance, but not put a lot of stress on my body. I have averaged around 22-28 miles a week this summer.
