August 22 (107 miles/week)

AM: 22 miles with 6+ miles @ MP

I started this run with the BCTC group at the ATT, heading out at an honest clip (near 6:30 average) despite rather humid conditions for the first 8. The plan was then to run 8 at marathon pace, but I only made it 6+ before I started to get overheated and shut it down: 5:41, 5:35, 5:36, 5:48, 5:46, 5:46. I was carrying a water bottle the entire time, which proved awkward but necessary given the lack of water on the soft side of the ATT. I finished up with a long cooldown, rallying again near the end and hitting 2:26 for 22.

Next week will be a recovery week with a trip to Atlanta on the weekend.
