City of Oaks, Week 9 Training

This week was pretty much a throw away. The whole family came down with strep throat. Not only did I miss my weekday runs, but I didn't even get to exercise.

I did manage to salvage the week with a strong long run on Sunday. It wasn't as long as planned, though. I had 13 miles on my plan, and I ended up running 11. I had a solid first half. I ran the first 5.75 at a 10:57 pace. The second half started slow, but I finished the last two miles strong finishing the second half at an 11:16 pace. Overall, I ran the 11 miles in 2:02:06, which is an 11:06 pace. My average hr was 155 with a max of 166. Since it was a shorter long run, I didn't use any gels. I just had about 20 oz. of Accelerade.

8 weeks to go...
