Probably the best training week of my life. 42 total miles, including an 18 mile long run. The long run took 2 hours and 15 minutes, which is about 7:30 pace. The long run really built my confidence and I'm feeling pretty good about where I'm headed. I ran my long run on Saturday this week rather than Sunday because I only ran 4 miles on Friday, so I wanted to take advantage of being a little rested. I usually do the long run on Sunday, but since I lift weights on Saturday, my legs are usually pretty sore. I flip flopped this week and definately noticed a difference. My left knee was sore all week, but I never felt it when I ran. I only felt it walking around, going up stairs, and in the weight room. Im pretty sure its from doing squats, so unless I feel it when I am running, I'm not going to worry about it. I got pretty sunburned yesterday. It was alot hotter than I expected, and being out there for almost 2 and a half hours without sunscreen was probably a mistake. I ran two miles today, and my calves felt like they were ripping. I guess that is expected though. Tomorrow is a rest day and then hopefully another 40+ mile week!

Monday - Rest
Tuesday - 9 miles + weights
Wednesday - Rest
