Newish route, it's the first time I tried this loop I made. But it was around my neighborhood and library. My toe hurt . I had to come back early to go to work. I don't think I will do another run today. 8 miles tomorrow. I've think I will average around 60-70 miles once cross country team training starts up, maybe I will go to 75 or 80 some weeks later on. But right now I feel like 60-70 would be comfortable and won't tire me out.

Good training Blake. Don't push the envelope too much. You want to come into the season feeling fit but also rested. No problem at all with skipping a run occasionally in favor of a swim, hike, or bike ride.

Ok, I will do it by feel and just take it day by day. I think some days after practice I might do 15-30 minutes of swimming at work. My plan was to do a two a day on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursday. And I was thinking of doing 8 miles every Friday and 10-12 on Saturdays if we don't go to Jeremy Ranch that week. I will see how it all feels though!
