Week 8 - Week of December 20th

It was a challenging week to get my three runs in before Christmas, but I got it done.  I ran hard during two of the three runs and felt really good!

Week 8 - All runs at John A. Phillips Park, unless otherwise noted.

Dec 21 - Hard Progression Run. Ran 5.01 miles in 32:12 (6:26 p/mi). Splits = 6:38, 6:31, 6:25, 6:22, 6:13, 4:09.
Weather = 25/12/50%; WNW16; Cloudy.
Weight After Run = 148
Shoes - Nike Air Zoom Skylon (orange).

Dec 22 - Easy Run.  6.2 miles in 46m 19s (7:28 p/mi ave).
Weather = 23/13/73%; W9; Partly Cloudy.
Weight After Run = 148
Shoes - Nike Air Zoom Elite4 (green)

Dec 24 - Long Sustained/Progression Run at Marlboro Retro Fitness.  Decided to put in a hard, long run indoors to sweat it out!  Ran the first 8 miles in 1-hour (7:30 p/mi ave), followed by 9.11 miles in the 2nd hours as a hard progression run.  Last mile was about 6:02.  Felt great taking in GU every half hour with water.  Also tried the GU Chomps, which weren't so bad to take during the run.
Total Mileage = 17.11 (6:59 p/mi ave)
Weight After Run = 144
Shoes - Nike Air Zoom Skylon (orange).

TOTAL MILEAGE WEEK 8 = 28.32
