This week was 50 miles of running, 15 "miles" of pool-running and 2000 yards of swimming -- training log is here.
Pull back week, as I took a break from marathon training and rested up for the Fifth Avenue Mile, which went very well.
I feel like I'm in really good shape right now, and on track or even ahead of track for my goals in November. Of course, this is where things get tricky. Being fit now means that I need to be very mindful over the next few weeks to not get greedy and to train with restraint, so that I can maintain or gently build this fitness all the way to Indy, instead of overshooting and peaking too soon.
In other notes, Quartz is doing very well. Yapping at us, bouncing around, enjoying her meals. I think she's already forgotten the whole episode and can't figure out why she's partially shaved.
