890v3: 91M
Week: 30M
I have come to terms with the fact that summer is back and it's going to be hot and wet and rainy regularly. There's no way I'm going to be able to do any real speed work in the evenings so I think I'm going to have to bag any serious races for a few months.
I'm going to just focus on building a new base and bringing up my mileage. Those two weeks at 50 miles initially seemed like a lot of miles since I've aimed for that before and only achieved it one time. But after running it and taking a small break I want to use that as a new normal. I've been trying to get into AM runs and it's been hard since the weather has been cool until recently. I think the heat is the impetus I need.
Anyway, I hope everything with you is going well and want to say "Thanks!" for all your continued coaching. I want you to know that I appreciate everything you have done to help me.

I though I needed to take a little time to absorb the last two weeks of running. I did a little fly fishing during the week and went to Gainesville for the weekend to watch the Friday distance races at the Florida Relays. An LRC poster from Orlando ran the 5K as a tune-up for Boston so it was cool to know someone in the race and for him to get a PR.

I got a little tired by Sunday, but feel good overall. I did calf raises every day, but wanted to take a break from the training we've been working on. 7 weeks is a long time. I think I was getting a little burnt around week 5.
I'm going to just run that work 5K for fun. People at work are pestering me to relax...So I'm going to sign up for a 5K on the 27th.
This week I'm going to work some morning runs in and get back to the light cross training. I'm thinking about doing another week of higher mileage before getting back to speed work the following week.
Does that sound ok? That'll give me four weeks following your suggested maintenance plan.
