This was a very tough week of training. I had a speed workout of four one mile intervals on Wednesday 8/16/06. All four invervals were under 6:30/mile pace.
On Saturday 8/19/06, I ran the annual Maple Heights High School (located in Ohio) cross country Alumni race. Each year the current cross country team runs against the cross country alumni. I ran the 2.1 mile course in 13:07 (6:14/mile pace). I finished in fourth place behind three current team members.
On Sunday 8/20/06, I ran my long run of 20.1 miles at a 8:31/mile pace. This run was very difficult. I am showing signs of a cold with a scratchy throat. I think the increased milage over the last several weeks has caught up to me. I hope this does not turn into a very bad cold since there are only six more weeks of training before I run the Akron Marathon. The good news the week starting 8/21 is a recovery week.
Mileage for the week was 41.8
Year to date mileage is 851.6

[...] Last week I mentioned a scratchy throat. On Sunday night (8/20) my throat was so sore it felt like it was on fire. Over the course of the next several days the sore throat turned into nasal and chest congestion. I did not sleep very well. Finally on Friday (8/25) I went for an easy run. I do not think this cold set me back in my marathon training since my legs were able to rest. [...]
