week summary: 8/24-8/30

Ran 81 miles this week. Here were my workouts:
1) 5'-4'-3'-2'-1' with equal recovery fartlek. Ran on the grass at piedmont. Ran the 5' section on the oval and the following two segments on the lower 1k loop, and the final two segments on the upper loop. Felt good. Under control and comfortable.
2) 3.5 mile tempo at 5:22 pace on the track. Pouring rain. Felt under control and could have continued on at that pace for a another mile and a half at the same pace without exceeding the appropriate effort. Then we had a 3.5' break, and we ran 1 mile in 5:04. Easy stuff. Ran the final two laps in lane three so that I would not get my heels stepped up or get pushed around. Some people on the team act like practice is a race. Even thoug I was in lane three it was easy.
3) Long run at Kennesaw. Final 13.5 miles at 6:12 pace.
