JRags - Week 3 - I think this is what they call "getting into a groove"

Another sort of boring Monday to Sunday update. The log:

Monday - two cents with jerzy and brunk around 9. felt pretty good after the first 2 miles. a little beat up from yesterday.

Tuesday - 2 up, 3xmile 3x200 with steph, 2 down barefoot.

im an unbelievable rabbit.

Friday - real deal from ossipee. started with Q erik and cliff. broke off from them at the harvard bridge. up tempoed the river out to BU and back to second bridge. averaged 6:00 for the middle 3.5 or so. felt alright, stomach issues most of the way and felt hypoglycemic from about 2-7 miles. need to eat more at work.

Saturday - 4 through bentley and 2 cooling down with steph. felt pretty good. nice to finally have an easy day.

Sunday - didn't sleep too well after going to the lab late last night. short res with steph pretty slow, 52:00 at probably 7:30 pace (7.0), half a mile up and back on ossipee trying to get down as much lemonade as i could (.5), followed by a swift short res in 50:00 around 6:45 pace/effort (7.4). i think the drink was about 15-20 ounces with 15-20 grams of sugar. worked pretty well, didn't feel it in my stomach at all after. oatmeal and water 60 mins before starting.
good long run. felt waaaay easier when not melting and dehydrated. definitely fueling on the run from now on.

A solid week overall. 65 miles, but a little too much intensity. Really dehydrated from sunday run last weekend, so easy monday, paced steph in 3xmile on tuesday (not as easy as i sounded in my log, i was fairly cooked. she's in good shape), medium run wednesday, pilsener-smooth 400s at steph's 1500 pace thursday, decent uptempo friday, really easy saturday, and LSD today.
This week, I'll highlight my uptempo and fueling long run.
Friday's workout was awesome and terrible at the same time. I ran it after work and was horribly undernourished because I don't have much food in my locker yet. Hypoglycemic for the first 5 miles or so. Same thing happened to me at the beginning of a long run last summer, but it passed and I had a great run. Eventually, it did pass, and I uptempoed around 6:00 from about second bridge out to real deal, up Comm Ave, across the bridge, and back up the Charles to second bridge again, about 3.75 miles. These workouts will get longer once I'm better fueled and more calloused to the workload. Ideally, these will morph into a 10-12 mile run with splits something like 7:30-7:15-6:45-6:15 as a warm up, (3 to 5)x(5:40-5:50), then 3x7:30 cool down.
Long run this morning was pretty interesting. Got up and killed me some oatmeal an hour before the run and hit the water. Ran short res with steph fairly slow, then ran up and down Ossipee sipping down yee ol' country time lemonade for a half mile, and ran short res again with corey brunk and jerz. Felt awesome through 80 or 90 minutes, but started feeling a little heavy at 100 minutes. I think getting fluids down played a huge part in feeling so good 11 miles into the run though. Especially since this was my first run over 12 since early April. I'll take it, and I'm hoping to do the same most long runs from now on.
