week 3 Aug 24-29

Monday, Day 9 - 3 miles

• Where: track
  
• Time: 30:01
• Pace: 10:00
  
• Difficulty: 2
  
• Notes: grr, you'd think i'd be faster. but it was a nice, easy run while i got acquainted with the extra-curriculars of the local HS. their football, cross-country teams and cheerleaders were all there. i kept thinking of all the mean things i could say to the cheerleaders. but i'm an adult now and there's no need. or so i tell myself. back to running... i picked it up the last 300 m and pushed the last hundred or so. which makes my time even more frustrating.
  

Wednesday, Day 10 - 3.75 miles

• Where: down hilyard and part of rexius
  
• Difficulty: 2
  
• Notes: i messed up my mileage again and went a quarter mile less than i was supposed to. but i did see a giant raccoon. does that make up for it?
  

Thursday, Day 11 - 3 miles

• Where: cemetery loop
  
• Time: 28:47
• Pace: 9:35
  
• Difficulty: 7
  
• Notes: for some reason this was killer this morning. i had to talk myself through most of it. my lungs felt like they wanted to explode. i don't get my numbers either, they don't seem right.
  

Saturday, Day 12 - 6 miles

• Where: hilyard to rexius back to adidas trail and once around the track
  
• Time: little under 60 minutes
  
• Pace: about 9:40
  
• Difficulty: 5
  
• Notes: i definitely had to still push myself to finish (and i mean through the WHOLE run) but it wasn't too bad. of course, i can say that now that i've finished.
  

Cross-Training: was basically non-existent this week.
