Looks like our mileage is piling up. And it's nice. It's nice that I can do them, as opposed to last summer when we were doing shorter miles. I'm not feeling that heavy either, so it's good.
Monday 6/17 - 6M on treadmill. Nothing fancy. PM was spin class. Very short, very high intensity intervals. These spin classes are testing on my quads, but it helps much cardio-wise. NYTimes seems to think so...
Tuesday 6/18 - "Optional 3 miles on treadmill," says Terry. "No faster than 10min/mile. I'm 1000% serious about pace." says Terry. Of course I do the miles. Of course I can't stand to run at 10min/mile after the first 30 seconds of it. Ah well. Sorry Terry.
PM: Faster Finish. It's Strawberry Hill Repeats and I think I'm slightly stronger than January. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/comparison?activityId=329978090&activityId2=262602040
Perhaps there is small progress.

Wednesday 6/19 - Got up early to squeeze in a 9M run before work. This goes extremely well. I aimed for lower end of my marathon pace and I’m on target goddamnit. But maybe it’s because I did clock-wise 5-4 loop…http://connect.garmin.com/activity/330387441
Went to Pilates at lunch.
Thursday is OFF. I didn’t even go to Pilates. I did some shin strengthening work at lunch as I know I’ve been pushing pretty hard. With Saturday’s 18M run looming, I was getting a tad bit nervous.
Friday 6/20 – Tempo run on the FDR. This is interesting. 1.5M out-n-back on FDR. Out is MP, back is 10K pace. My Garmin managed to crap out like usual, so I have no idea how fast I’m going. I end up off by 4 seconds on the back, making it for a disappointing run. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/331020505
Saturday 6/21 – her comes the big one. 18M run. I decide that I should do the proper thing of 6M loop X3. I chicken out after completing the second loop and decide on a more whimpy path. My pace is strong and I didn’t have any “I’m so over this I’m gonna stop” moment. I did hit a rough patch at mile 11-12, but it was because I had to poop. After a quick service stop at mile 13, I pushed through and generally had a good run. OH, I picked a fight with that old dude in South Africa Flag shorts. I think he only has one pair of shorts, as he’s always wearing it. He’s been reaaaaaaaalllly annoying lately, telling people to keep to their right, when he’s the one going against majority traffic. WTF. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/331020505
Sunday 6/22 – Easy 5M recovery on treadmill. Sadly, my viewing choice were limited to infomercials or the Kardashians.
