8/14
6+ miles (6 x 100m striders)

Ran with Luke Duffy today at westchester lagoon and ran some of the course for tomorrow. I have some good pain in my right ankle. Got an MRI and Dr. thinks I should have surgery to get rid of a loose body I have above my Talar Dome. Probably shouldn't race tomorrow, but it may be my last race for the season. Pretty bummed right now.

General aerobic pace from south before work today. Felt pretty good.

Back to work today. Nice and easy on treadmill at school. Busy day. Ankle still tight and sore.

15 miles

I ran my boston prep route. Progressively got faster towards the end. My average pace ended up being 6:25 pace, but was probably running 6 min. pace the last 4-5 miles. Even ran a 6:49 mile up huffman. Good effort today.

8/10
10.5 miles (10x100m striders)

Ran the south loop today and did some striders on the Hanshew track on the way home. Legs felt kind of dead the first 1/2 of the run. Felt better towards the end.

8/9

Recovery runs today. Kept it easy to recover from long run yesterday. Felt really good in my evening run tonight.
