last easy week...

this really is the last easy week of running.  this week, the schedule says 3,5,3 and 7.  easy.  for me. the mileage will then step up to 25+ miles a week.  i will enjoy every bit of this week. :) 
i ran 3 miles tonight.  i have decided that the 2 'short' runs will be run on the hilly route.  the rest will be on a flat route.  i think that will help my itb to stay calm, and at least i'll get a little something from the hills.  i tried to speed it up a bit tonight and could tell i did by my timing. i did ok despite the heat and humidity.  i may be able to speed it up better once the fall comes around.  it's just so brutal outside.  last summer when i started training, i don't remember it being this bad.  that which does not kill me makes me stronger!

I really think you'll get faster when it cools down. I'm trying not to worry too much about my pace lately.
