"LJ at the 2007 Peachtree Road Race"
(46:12)

Well, another HOT week of running in the HOT ATL!! I must say, I am proud of my running this week. I only missed one day, Yippe! That being said, my Saturday run was not quite as long as I had hoped for, since I ran with a friend, nevertheless, it was a good run in.

Here are this weeks results:

Monday: 7.1 mi/1:01:20/L1-30:20/L2-31:00/AVG. HR=152/MAX. HR=174
Tuesday: 6.6 mi/57:31/L1-29:48/L2-27:42/AVG. HR=143/MAX. HR=159
Wednesday: Unable to Run
Thursday: 7.1 mi/1:00:21/L1-29:55/L2-30:25/AVG. HR=149/MAX. HR=173
Friday: REST
Saturday: 8.1 mi/1:19:37/AVG. HR=142/MAX. HR=163 **Ran with Allen**
Sunday: REST
Mileage=28.9

This week was one of my better weeks in a long time. The runs were pretty comfortable all week and I feel like I took my time on most of the runs. I did try to pick it up a bit as I finished up with the runs coming in. Mostly, because I have not started doing any type of speed work. Also, since I have NOT been running for an hour and a half on Tuesday and Thursday's like I normally do, I feel that I need to push myself a little bit more. Since I am planning to run the US10K Classice in a couple of weeks, I am going to be doing a lot of hill training this week(Monday and Wednesday) and part of next week. I will probably miss my run on Saturday this week due to some volunteer work that I am scheduled to do for Habitat for Humanity with my lovely wife.

I hope everyone has had a GREAT week!! Is there any cool weather in the forecast? I hope so.

KEEP RUNNING,
LJ
