     Wed: 5 easy with mix of trails
     Thur AM: 1.2 at 5:55 pace, 1 mile at 5:58 pace, 1 mile at 6:05 pace (uphill)...confident at aiming for sub 19 mins. Don't adjust goal time.
     Fri AM: 4 miles easy
     Fri PM: 5 miles on trails...I prefer the single track at Hinckley to the gravel path
     Sat: 14 long with buds
     Sun: 5 miles easy with mix of trails...stick with Reagan since there are fewer bikes.
Week 6-30-14: Tues (5) Wed (4) Thur (2) Fri (6) Sat (16) Sun (5) Total: 38
     Tue: Miserable 400/200x2 at the track. Too hot. Not timed.
     Wed: 4 easy felt light
     Thur: 2 easy...too nervous for this race
     Fri: 5k race (3.05) in 19:02. 6:10 first mile and felt like crap from warmup on. Fit enough to run a decent pace but missed "A" goal time of 18:45. Met "B" goal time of 19:19. Third female (fourth unofficially) and managed to outkick those close behind me. Not a total loss, but still looking for a short race where I feel good.
    Sat: 16 mile long run on towpath with buds. Nice and easy until last three miles where pace sped up a bit. Felt sore for about 12 hours afterwards.
    Sun: 5 miles easy...weird knee pain that went up to hip at mile 2, so went to trails and cut run from 8 to 5. Moving into marathon training.
