12 miles, 7:55 pace
I’ve kept a sub 8 pace for 8 miles once. It was awful.
I know that’s no biggie for some but brutal to me.

Only time I've done this in a race. Ran a half in 1:42:30 (7:49). Think I did it for 5 miles in training once.
Today: rest day

Unless it's flat and ideal weather, it's miserable for me too.
just got back to Atlanta and going to get back into it tonight. I need to set some goals. Some form of marathon. Another tough trail run. And sub-20 min Winship 5K (it has two nasty hills so that's tough for me) in October.

Got my planned 4 in today at high noon. Didn’t really have a plan as far as pace, just paid attention to my gait, form, etc. Of course the heat was brutal, but most of us know that already. I guess my HR Max isn’t 183 after all. Followed by Yoga, stretching... and a Spindletap, since no running tomorrow. First Craft Beer I’ve had in months. Week one of Higdon Half training complete.

Went outside tonight and it was 72 degrees @ 8 pm. Shoulda been running.
Had kinda an off week from what I wanted. 20 miles.
This week has to be the week to pick it up.

Saturday: 3 miles, then 2 miles of walking (drinking and late nights spoiled my planned 6 mile run). Shoulders and abs in the gym
Sunday: 1 hour spin on the bike
Today: 30 minute run at lunch. Leg day in the gym tonight.
Tomorrow: Pool day.
Signed up for the Houston Marathon (1/20) today. Need to sign up for the Texas Ironman 70.3 (4/7), but that's too much money to spend in one day on races when I'm struggling to run 10k

7 day totals:
Wed: 5 Miles
Fri: 4 Miles
Sat: 10.25 Miles
Monday: 3.8 Miles (Race Pace)
Assuming things go right, going to try and make the jump to half marathon distance this weekend. First time running that distance in over 5 years.
