catchup

friday: 5 miles. i can't even remember how fast i went, but i'm thinking probably pretty slow.

saturday: 3 miles at 10:00/mi pace, because i wanted to be rested for sunday's long run.

sunday: so i missed the group run due to a slight overindulgance in champagne, fume blanc, and beaujolais the night before. i think i probably would have collapsed in a dehydrated heap had i tried to remain stoic and attend the 8 am session, so it's probably good that i bailed. i did, however, run 12 miles on the treadmill in the afternoon. and no, it wasn't all that bad. the first 9 miles were at 10:00/mi pace and the last 3 at 9:30.

total mileage for week: 31. though to me they felt like 31 relatively crappy miles, at least they happened.

one more week of 35-ish mileage, and then i'm going to start a short 5K training program to work on speed. i'm not sure if there is going to be an actual 5K involved - i may just do a time-trial on the track at the end! but i'm excited to add back more speedwork -- i feel like i've gotten truly slower since the marathon (although josh thinks i'm crazy).
