September 7

AM: 13 miles easy
PM: 4 miles easy

I ran easy with Reed in the morning and felt so much better than yesterday; go figure. I followed it up with a shake-out with Valerie in the evening.

September 6

AM: 11 miles with 10 x 1:00 on/off
PM: 5 miles easy

So, I ran somewhat of a disaster workout with Reed on the WaDuke trail. We were planning 15 reps, but I honestly felt just horrible and pulled the plug at 10. The torrential downpour didn't help lift my spirits much.

September 5

AM: 10 miles easy

Relaxed recovery run with Reed through campus.

September 4 (91 miles/week)

AM: 17 miles easy

While it was grossly humid outside, today's run with Reed through campus and Duke Forest capped off one of my better weeks lately, with more than 90 miles on just 8 runs. I'm going to try to keep the momentum going next week as classes start here at Duke.

September 3

AM: 11 miles easy

I got in a recovery run through campus with Reed, some of which was with the dog Reed is dog sitting.

September 2

AM: 1'/2'/3'/4'/3'/2'/1'/2'/3'/2'/1' with 1:00 jog recovery between reps - 13 miles

I jogged over to East Campus in the morning to meet Alex, Reed, and Adam, for a workout on the East Campus loop. I felt pretty good until the last three reps, when I really started to feel the heat and humidity. Alex and Adam looked sharp, so that was good. The rain came just too late but made for a refreshing cooldown.

September 1

AM: 13 miles easy

I started the run with Reed, picked up David Roche about 30 minutes in, and turned around at the law school. We kept it mostly flat, which felt awesome after a ton of hills in the last week. I finished with a couple of loops on East Campus with David before running back home through downtown.

The one side note is that I tried to run in this pair of Avia's that I won at the trail half marathon earlier this month at Snow Valley. Unfortunately, while they look pretty slick, they were cutting into my ankle so badly that my sock looked like 2004 ALCS Curt Schilling's just 10 minutes into the run. I had to stop and change at home before we carried on with the run.
