I was going to try to review what I have been doing for the past 5 weeks but I rather attempt to start fresh and with hopes of blogging more often. After the poor running at the USATF Half champs it took me a few days to wrap my head around the idea of new goals and getting back to the grind with my training. I like the long runs and I really enjoy the LT workouts, so I found a goal race in October to go chase and hopefully this summer will unfold as planned.
In a quick summary I have been building up my mileage slowly and have now been clicking along pretty decent the last three weeks. I am getting in a weekend long effort and one to two workouts mid week. My goal race is 10 weeks from yesterday and I feel like I am getting right at the point of really doing some decent workouts in the weeks to come. The plan from here on out is to run right around 70 miles per week and get in some solid long, hilly efforts along the way.
Here is just a weekly summary of my last five weeks:

46 miles
July 8-14

July 15-21
