Mon 3/6/17
Workout: AM: 5.8 recovery miles, PM: rest
Notes: morning weigh-in: 172.2 / Easy recovery miles AM. PM: felt tired, and in need of rest, so opted for no double. Gotta listen to the body!

Tue 3/7/17
Workout: 9 miles steady
Notes: Mild. 2 up, 7 aerobic ~7:30 pace. Still feel fatigued. Tired. Steady state tougher to get to today.

Wed 3/8/17
Workout: 15 mile medium long run
Notes: Warm. Breezy. 4 mile warmup, then 11 averaging 7:21 pace. Still felt fatigued, but tried to keep the pace comfortable and not work for it. Big tempo run on Friday, so didn't want to force a fast finish today.

Thu 3/9/17
Workout: 7 recovery miles
Notes: Warm. Easy recovery miles

Fri 3/10/17
Workout: 13 miles with 7 tempo
Notes: Cool. Breezy. Woof. 7 mile tempo today. 4 warm up, 7 (6:39, 6:36, 6:33, 6:25, 6:33, 6:36, 6:26) for a 6:32 avg, 2 cool. Tempo was tough. Tailwind, headwind, tailwind, headwind. Flat route. I feel pretty good about the effort - though I was a bit dissapointed I couldn't negative split the entire workout. Puts me in position to hit 1:25 in New York, which has been  a goal all along.

Sat 3/11/17
Workout: 8 recovery miles + 6 strides
Notes: Cold. Easy recovery miles

Sun 3/12/17
Workout: 18 mile long run
Notes: Cold. Comfortable long run (7:43 avg pace). Tried to keep it as relaxed as possible with the NYC half next weekend. Planning a cut back week next with less overall intensity. Also, wanted to set up the possibility of getting a PM workout in on Monday with the incoming winter weather.
