The busy schedule and the hot weather made me slack out again. I stopped running for more than a week. This seems like this is the recurring story of fall training.

Trying to get back to the fold, plus withdrawal kicked in hard yesterday, so I ran 6.6 miles. I felt like I ran nothing, it was so easy. So I'll try to pick up my training plan as I didn't stop. We will see if it works - probably won't.

Here is the rest of the plan.

Week -06, 09/07, 72 miles
Week -05, 09/14, 70 miles
Week -04, 09/21, 62 miles
Week -03, 09/28, 64 miles
Week -02, 10/05, 60 miles
Week -01, 10/12, 54 miles
Race week, 10/19, 44 miles

Tomorrow I'll try a 5 x 1000 track workout. Today I should run at least somewhat long, but it's hot, so I'll probably skip it. Maybe just 10 miles or so.

The cool weather is coming next week. No more excuses. So 10 miles today, track workout tomorrow, and then I try a 72 mile monster week. Probably not going to happen, but we can hope, right?
