A few more miles

Total miles for the week: 56

This week the plan is to just stay steady, increase a few miles, and continue to feel comfortable, I also will hopefully go to 7 or 8 sessions instead of 6 as in the past two weeks.

Saturday, 6/30
Got up and sat in front of the comp for a while. Watched the 1500 race and felt enthused to go out for a run. Ran this: 13 miles of hell in the sun, Started out smooth and after a few miles slowed down a little, then sped back up to pace. Stopped at Garfield park for water, and splashed myself with a bunch of water at the corner of glenarm, and fairoaks.
Personally I have only one fear about my training over the past couple of weeks. I am beginning to question if I have begun to cross the line between man and bum. I've spent many runs without my shirt on and running in dirty shorts that haven't been washed. I run unshaven, flailing my arms like a madman through the city. I drink from streams, and I wash my face in public fountains. The only things that truly remain are for me to take a nap in the park in the middle of one of my late night runs, and for me to get hungry and eat from a trash can. I suppose these will only take a matter of time.
In other news, when is the last time that any one of you was "run forrest run"-ed. I know this happened to me the other day, and I am in absolute awe that this perpetuation of a 15 year old joke has not lost tasted among the ill-humored of this nation. I mean don't these people watch any movies and get any better ideas: Logan's run, marathon man, and more. Oh well. Just let me know if this is only me, but I'd be rather curious when the last time any of you was "run forrest run"-ed.

Friday, 6/29
Went to go get a few beers with Timmy Tim Tirrel. Afterwards I went out and did an easy 4 miles. Didn't really get into any rhythm, probably held about 7's

Thursday, 6/28
Medium paced 12 miles with Ogliore, last run ever with him (or at least for a while). Ran 7 with him then did lacy the long way then finished up with one last mile around the track. Felt good the whole time, probably averaged under 7's.

Wednesday, 6/27
Medium paced 7 miles.. probably around 6:45 pace. felt good, no pain.

Tuseday, 6/26
Ran a super easy 4 miles. Lacy the long way. At some point I felt a little pain on the inside of my left lower calf. This seems like something that will go away by tomorrow, but I better watch it in any case.

Monday, 6/25
Ran a moderate 8 around the track, turning around every 2 miles. Oddly my legs tightened up each time i stopped to turn around, but were quickly loosened after a lap or two. I ran mostly on the asphalt lining and the track and felt no pain. I didn't have a watch but I'd figure the pace was around 7:00's to start, then steadly increased to 6:40ish, the last mile was probably about 6:00ish.

BTW... for those of you who haven't seen this race yet, this is possibly the coolest race ever...

Sunday, 6/24
Today I waited till the late evening to run, 11:30. I left and felt good so I started booking and took my first mile around 6:25ish. I held this up down to the gym and then on down Lombardy. The run went fine and fast, finishing 8 miles at 6:15 pace. I got a little creeped out heading back, in the end part of lombardy where its really dark some caddy passed me really slowly, I half expected gangsters to jump out and have their way with me right there. I started going a little faster though just so they would know I was packing heat... They backed off, losers.

Total miles: 8
