  2. Kate Jortberg: 60 miles, 2 solid workouts, I’m aiming for 5:45-5:50 as 6k goal pace because without the humidity I believe that would be 5:30ish pace but it is hard to tell and my work schedule is tiring so I am going off feel rather than pace. I can’t wait to leave the corporate world and go back to school

  3. 62 miles this week. Feeling much better and finally back from sickness. Also, pain in leg hasn't resurfaced after its brief appearance a couple weeks ago. Feeling tired, but think I'm just still adjusting to mileage. Workouts were good though.

  19. 73 miles last week!! I was SO close to hitting full volume, but came up just a little short! Said goodbye to Atlanta on Monday for the next two weeks until move in and moved back home, where its just a little bit hotter and 100% more humid lol... but anyways, I was happy to do two good workouts this week: I did the fartlek on Tuesday, which was a little rough after getting a later start and the day after moving out at 9 pm... then I did an easy tempo on Friday at the beautiful canal in Augusta, and then we drove to Hilton Head and I now I get to run on HHI from Sat until Wed!! So lovely !
    I cannot wait for the first week of practice to see everyone!! Miss you all!

  24. 52 miles last week. Did the 1.5 on, 2.5 off on Tuesday and it felt great. Did a tempo on Friday and felt a little off from the start but still ran just a bit faster than 75% tempo pace.

  25. 70 miles for the week. 1.5 on 2.5 off on Tuesday was good. Started a bit fast but quickly settled into goal pace afterwards. The 54321 on Friday was kinda rough. I was volunteering to be a high school camp counselor at a weekend camp, so I had to wake up and do my workout in the woods at 5:00am in the morning. The workout was on the slow side of things, particularly the 4 and 3 segments. Caught a mild camp cold and spent Monday resting and recovering.

  27. 50 miles last week in lovely South FL :) Bella, Erin and I took a trip to see my family for the week and it’s been so nice. Lots of doubling because of the heat. 8 x 1.5’ & 5-4-3-2-1 workouts felt smooth despite the blistering weather here. We got to long run with Gracie on Boca Island this past Sunday too! As much as I don’t want this little vacation to end, I’m excited for our first week of practice!
