Good mileage boost week

Feb. 14 - Feb. 20

Monday: Dropped off NW of Yankton 12 miles out; 1 hr, 29 mins, 3 seconds; 7:25 pace overall; tried to take it easy but felt really good
Tuesday: 5 miles around Yankton; 35:20, 7:04 pace; felt good
Wednesday: Dome; 4x500 w 75 second rest: 1:38-1:39-1:39-1:39, 4x300 w 100 jog: 57-56-55-52; even 4 miles with warm-up and cool-down
Thursday: 7 miles; 49:50 on bike trail, 7:07 pace; good run although the last 2 miles I really had to use the bathroom :(
Friday: 5 miles around Yankton, 2 miles of it were a tempo pace under 7 slightly but did not feel that great
Saturday: 5 miles on trails in Lincoln, NE; 7:12 pace overall but the 2nd half of the run was much faster due to strong tail wind
Sunday: Rest

Total Miles: 38

The weather was pretty great most of this week so it was a good week to bump up the mileage. I was very pleased with how I felt on every run except for Friday; even the 12-miler seemed pretty easy and I ended up running about 20 seconds quicker per mile than planned.
