It has been hard to squeeze in the runs this week due to all the work I've done this week. Twice I ran at night. The second one was today: I did the tempo today, because I ended up doing the semilong on Wednesday. Despite all the troubles, it was a good run: two 1.5 mile tempo intervals ran in 10:22, 10:21 (paces 6:55, 6:54) with only 1/2 mile in between in 4:26 (8:52 pace). With the warmup and cooldown, I ran 7 miles form 8:50 to 9:45.

Tomorrow I will probably run in the evening (5 miles), and I'll crown the week with a 10-mile long run on Sunday. It will make it a 40-mile week, definitely the first of this volume since November 2009. This will conclude my base training. Then I will have to decide exactly what to do.
