That boy running without socks

A pondering on summer training has me feeling a little disappointed. 

I've fallen short of my goals which makes me believe I won't be ready for fall races. 

Is it the heat? Unrealistic goals? I don't know.

Motivation is scarce right now.

I'm lost.

Anyway, here's how the week is going.

Sunday 8/11
1 hr and 40 minutes.
*Got in about 13 miles. 

Monday 8/12
AM- 14 minutes of running
PM- 5 miles + 6 x 100s
*This morning sucked. I was only able to do about 14 minutes of running. Horrible run, but I am happy that I had a chance to run in the afternoon and put in more mileage and not have a day wasted. 5 miles in 34:50.

Tuesday 8/13
Warm-up + 2 x 4 x 800m in  2:48-2:50
*6 x 800m in 2:35, 2:36, 2:45, 2:46, 2:50, 2:50. As you can see... awful pattern. Wasn't expecting that one.


Wednesday 8/14
AM - 5 miles 
PM - 5 miles
*3 miles in the morning, and 7 miles in the afternoon in 52:04. Good run!!

Thursday 8/15
8 miles + 4 x 200 meter repeats @ mile pace
*7 miles in 43:03 and did 6 x 200m in 37-39 seconds. 

Friday 8/16
Warm-up + 45 min. of hill repeats
*Delicious day. I was really pumped for this workout. The reps uphill felt fast. Radioactive by Imagine Dragons is my new workout song.

Saturday 8/17
7 miles + strides
Felt  a little drained from Friday. but got in the mileage! Had trouble with the 200m strides. Legs felt really heavy.
