6/22/11 (Wednesday) Run

Today I ran 8 miles in 58:14.  I warmed up to 8.3 mph by the end of first mile.  I ran the next 3 miles at 8.3 mph and then mile 5 at 8.6 mph.  I then ran the next mile at 7.7 mph for recovery and increased it to 8.1 mph for the first .5 miles of mile 7 and to 8.3 mph for the second half of that mile.  For mile 8 I began increasing it by one-tenth mph for the first two quarter miles and then every tenth of a mile after that.  I finished with my usual 100 meter stride at 10.0 mph.

6/18/11 (Saturday) Activities

Today I ran 10 miles in 1:17:35.  This was an outside run.
This week has been harder.  Though I have managed to do fairly well with my times, I can tell that taking time off, and probably all the poor eating, has had its effects.  The run felt better today and I was able to complete each mile at a faster pace than last week.

After a pit stop to change my clothes and grab a snack for energy replacement, I cycled 26.62 miles in 1:29:45.
Total running miles for week = 33
Total cycling miles for week = 42.83
