M - 5.44 miles - recovery pace on the trails at Pinckney Recreation Area. Great day to run trails - temp near 70, relatively low humidity - I love spring
T - 4.83 miles - another easy run on the trails near home - quick run through Bird Hills
W - rest day
T - 9.52 miles - medium long run with strides - I forgot to program my watch and I wasn't near a track so I estimated 7 x 20 second strides - all road running
F - another rest day
S - 7.15 tempo run through Gallup Park. 25 min warm up followed by 35 minutes at T-pace, short 5 minute cool down.
S - 11.34 mile long run on the trials at Pinckney.
total weekly mileage = 38.28
Do you want to know how to determine the proper pace to run for your tempo runs? Pick up a copy of Daniels' Running Formula
. Jack Daniels is one of the best running coaches in the United States and the book is full of useful information if you are looking to improve your running. Many of us tend to run our easy runs too hard and our hard runs too easy. Jack Daniels can help you take some of the guesswork out of it so that you get better results from all the effort you put into training. I highly recommend adding this book to your running library.Spring is back. Get out there and run.

are you wearing your orange shorts yet? is that picture on the top of your blog from WS?
I just wore orange shorts for the first time yesterday. :-)
Yeah that picture was one of the official photos from the race. I believe it was in the canyons. I remember the photographer startled me when he took that one.
"Many of us tend to run our easy runs too hard and our hard runs too easy."
Sage advice. Glad to see your training summaries. Rock on, Tim.
