Upcoming Week

My mileage goes up to 34 miles this week, and the workout mileage is less, which makes me happy. Here's the schedule for this week:

• Monday: 4 miles, easy (10:10 to 11:52)
• Tuesday: 7 miles with speedwork 8x600s (8:21 to 8:42 pace) with 400 recovery
• Wednesday: 5 miles, easy (10:10 to 11:52)
• Thursday: 6 miles with three at half-marathon pace (9:09)
• Friday: rest
• Saturday: 6 miles, easy (10:10 to 11:52)
• Sunday: 5 miles, easy (10:10 to 11:52)

Notes:

• I'm not as intimidated by Tuesday's speedwork, and I really, really hope I can hit the paces. The intervals are a little longer, but there are fewer. We'll see.
• I'm kind of looking forward to Thursday's pace run. I have no idea if I can do it. I set my watch for 9:00 to 9:15 for the pace miles -- I figure it's early enough in the training cycle that I can be a little slower if necessary. 
• There may be some moving around of runs since Friday is a holiday. Sunday could end up being my rest day this week. 
• I really need to get my weight under control.
