Week's over. I have never run more than 60 miles in a week. In fact, I have never run more than 50 miles in a week. IN FACT, I have only run more than 40 miles once. I almost doubled my mileage for the whole month of December. It's amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it. Last week I ran 17.4 miles. I thought, "Well, that was tough, but I bet I could do 10 miles every day next week if I slow it down some." So now that it's over, I'm definitely taking it easy next week. I've heard too many bad things about upping your mileage too quickly. I waited until the afternoon to get today's run in. I've done the same route every day this week; that is my 5.6 mile Wal Mart bypass loop followed by my 4.5 mile Founders Park Ward loop. After the bypass loop I stopped at home for a breather. My knee was kind of aching so I questioned if I should go back out. Listen to your body, Burt. Don't hurt yourself being stupid. But I'm so close to 60. Is it worth it? Yes. I went back out and did the last loop. Then I came in and noticed I was only 0.7 miles away from ChrisM. Should I go back out? Nah, I like Chris. I don't want to hurt his feelings. He's a tender little guy. But my wife talked me into it. So I went back out again and did me 1 mile loop around the block. That last mile actually felt pretty good. I'd like to thank Steve Piccolo for his advice on wearing underwear inside out. I couldn't have done it without you buddy. Time - 1:45:00 (avg. pace 9:24) Splits - 9:01, 8:59, 9:07. 9:27, 9:20, 9:36, 9:39, 9:31, 9:40, 9:46, 9:16
