Sorry for the delay and the short post this week but work has been killer.

On Sunday, August 9th, I ran fourteen miles over in Mobile. What makes the accomplishment better in my eyes is that I did it on the hilliest course I have ran on to date. Hillcrest is named the way it is for a reason.

I ran forty six miles combined last week including Sundays sixteen mile run. Yes, I can now run sixteen miles. I was scheduled for fourteen but decided to run sixteen because my buddy did not want to run it on his own.

Yesterday's track workout was murderous. It was a ladder workout of 4x200 meters with a 200 meter recovery, 2x400 meters with a 400 meter recovery, 1x800 with a 400 meter recovery, and then we had to go back down the ladder by doing 2x400 with a 400 meter recovery, and 4x200 with a 200 meter recovery. Including warm ups we ran over six miles with a third of the runs being at sprint pace...UGHHH.

This weeks long run is fourteen miles again. The Mobile group wants to run over the Dauphin Island bridge so I have some high humidity and traffic to look forward to. I just hope they do not have speed traps set up because I will likely get a speeding ticket if they clock my extreme running speeds...DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
