the end of summer

Yikes, it has been a while. Here's how last week finished up and this week started out. I figured I had better get caught up since I'll be gone to Pigeon Lake for a few days.
Thursday: 4 miles - I don't remember anything about this run, so it must have been fine.
Friday: 7 miles - this went pretty well, given that I didn't eat a very good dinner the night before. I was feeling it a little by the end of the run, but that could also just be that it was the first time in a long time that I had run 7 miles.
Saturday: 0, planned day off
Sunday: 5 this run started out awesome and ended up not so awesome. i was running late for a meeting with donna and the captains and decided to do the whole thing a little up-tempo. i was feeling good from the get-go, probably because i ran at 3 instead of 8 AM so my legs were more warmed up and ready to go. however, it was pretty hot and humid, so by about 1/2 way through the run the heat caught up to me and i found myself slowing without realizing it. i still averaged about 7:30 pace, but I'm guessing it started off more like 7:00 and ended more like 8:00+.

Weekly total: 26 miles, and my first week of running what I was supposed to each day! yay!

So far this week...
Monday: 4
Tuesday: 4 - planned to go farther, but legs felt shockingly fatigued. No idea what from, but I decided that I'd cut it short on the off-chance that I end up having time tomorrow to go for a run between our arrival at camp and the time trial. With preseason starting, my training this week could be awesome or terrible, it just depends on how camp transpires. We'll be back sometime Saturday, so I should be back on track by the weekend, if nothing else.
