This week -1 was really fine. In fact, it was pretty much in line with the potential 49-50 VDOT.

Tuesday's 1200's. I ran it at Middletown Christian Church with Craig (regrettably, all tracks are now closed to the public near me), and it went better than expected. The split were 4:37, 4:36, 4:42, 4:39 for an average of 4:38.5, or 50 VDOT.

Then I poisoned myself badly with alcohol, but I still finished my week. My medium long 12 mile run was somewhat of a struggle at 78 degrees and not much sleep, but I still manage to finish it at 8:30 pace average.

Training plan for race week:

S: Rest

M: 6 R

T: 7 w/ 2 miles @ MP

W: Rest

T: 5 R w/ 6 x 100 m

F: 4 R
