Progression Run- 7 miles-36:30. Felt really good on this workout. I started out at 5:45 pace and just cut down every 2k about 5-10 seconds per mile. Last mile was around 4:40 when I started to feel really good. Im still hesitant to start out my progression runs faster because these are still my weak points in training, but they have been getting better every time. I plan on working my way up to 10 mile progression runs over the next couple of months.

Very solid week. I had 4 runs of 15+ miles and 1 good workout. My body is now getting use to the mileage and the workouts so I can now start adding in the medium long runs a few times a week without struggling to get through them or paying for it the next day. I have 2 races/workouts coming up the next two weekends. The first will be a 5k in Georgetown mass that I will be running with teammate Ruben Sanca. We are running this with hope to get a good workout in but also because the prize money is very good and we think we can do very well.

Hope everybody else's training is going great.
