2000 km of Training Week 19: 806.7 to go

Sun: Rest. Legs were fine, but wanted some family time, and no day off in 9 days.
Mon: 19.1/1:26:04/4:29/Neo Planned this as an interval run, 3k fast, 3k easy, 3 of each. Went well for the first two rounds, but started to feel a blister on the outside of my right foot (again!), so had to back off during the last one. Did the first two at a 4:00 pace, which was my goal. First time I have gotten blisters in the Neos, and first time I wondered if they are not the best choice for speed work.
Tue: 15.4/1:09:32/4:30/Zoom XC Was surprised at how strong my legs felt after the run yesterday, and very happy with the pace. My legs are definitely recovering from runs faster. 5k splits got faster each time.
Wed: 15.4/1:11:32/4:38/Neo Legs definitely a bit tired for this run, but happy to keep it under 4:45 pace without too much trouble.
Thu: Bike 33k
Fri: 15.2/1:05:24/4:20/Zoom XC After a day biking yesterday,  I decided just to go out with a good pace from the start. Was pretty happy with the overall pace, and the run felt great.
Sat: 25.5/Mach 11 Another free run with no watch. First time doing this distance in a while, but it felt good. Nice weather in shorts and t-shirt. The Mach 11s didn't feel great, but also didn't give me any blisters, so I can't complain. Pace felt good overall, but the last 5k were more tiring than expected.

Total mileage: 90.6 Glad to get in another over 90 week, especially only running 5 days. Will back off a bit next week.
