I over did it on the taper this week but I would not have been able to do much more running if I had wanted to. Houston has been out of town since 5:00am Thursday morning, so I have been in one-parent mode during a busy week/weekend.

Monday: 9 miles very easy, M.&D.
Tuesday: 7 miles
Wednesday: 2 mile w/u, 3X2 mile w/ 3 rest, 1x1 mile on roads, 2 mile c/d (11 miles)
5:57, 5:45
5:46, 5:48
5:44, 5:56
5:49 ~ felt really good so I cut it short. I did this workout alone at 4:45am on a hilly route.

Thursday: 5 miles (Maddy woke up in the middle of my run, ran out of time)
Friday: 10 miles, 69 minutes
Saturday: 12 miles in 80 minutes w/ 5 miles in the middle at marathon pace, 6:18
Sunday: Recovery, planned 8-10 miles

My legs feel good. The heat at NOLA is not something I am worried about, I have been doing a lot of long runs and hard workouts on the treadmill in my house with the heat kicked up to 75 degrees. The humidity...that's another story.

On another note, I have enjoyed the Mommy & Maddy time. We have played hours of peek-a-boo and destroyed much of the contents of my kitchen cabinets. Its fine, not like they were organized before!
Our beautiful little lady. She is just over 16 months.
