Training Report: August 6-12

Got in 47 miles this week in pretty hot and humid conditions. It was pushing 90F when I did a session of 5 x 1000, followed by 4 x 200 on Wednesday and yesterday wasn't much better when I did my weekly 12 miler on the trails. All and all though I'm feeling pretty fit and these dog days of summer are building character as I brace myself for cooler weather and hopefully, some pretty damn good racing in the fall. Looks like it may only be about 75F next Friday when I race my track 5K in Ann Arbor, Michigan. If all goes well, I'm hoping for something in the neighborhood of 17:20 (5:35 per mile pace).
