Personal:
I am a 52 yr. old single father of four children. I am retired after injuring my back in 2000. I had back surgery, stopped running, and gained about 80 pounds. Decided to take my health into my own hands....lost 100 pounds, went to Nepal and trekked for two months in the Himalayas...climbed almost 18,000 ft.....felt so proud of myself....began running again. I qualified for Boston in Oct. 2009. I have shifted my focus now on ultra-marathons with the hope to run my first this year.

Good call! I did the same thing yesterday. Your mileage has been awesome, so you are wise to listen to your body. I've heard it's good to have a lower week if you've spent 3 weeks of high mileage or mileage increase. For example, after 3 60-70 miles weeks, do a 50-60 mile week. It gives your body a little bit of a break or time to adjust and often allows you to push even stronger once you go back to the higher mileage. Keep up the good work!
