Today I had to stay home with the sick baby while my wife took my sister in for minor surgery.  The internet wasn't working and it was just miserable.

Well, I'm still on target for doing 10 miles every day since Monday.  I had to split it up into two parts today.  I set my alarm for 4:30am, but that's not exactly when I got up.  I did my 5.6 mile Wal Mart Bypass loop.  Then I had to take my daughter to her 7am play practice.  I didn't have on any Performance Underwear today; just my tighty whiteys.  After 10 miles the tag really started to irritate.  That, and sitting in my own filth for about half an hour.  Before heading out again I ate a banana and drank some Gatorade.  I noticed I had a lot more energy.  More than yesterday that's for sure.

Time - 1:29:08 (avg pace 8:49)

Splits - 8:52, 8:44, 8:49, 8:59, 9:03, 9:01, 8:38, 8:35, 8:49, 8:45, 0:55 for 0.11 (7:59 pace)

Dude, your not letting up with this 10-a-day thing! You've past me up on the mileage board this week for good. And your just getting stronger as you go. Its got to be the candy bar you ate off the ground yesterday.

Excellent week you are having, keep it up.

Burt, curious, what is the 10 mile a day training plan? How many days in a row? How long before the marathon or half? Anyway, shows you have some good endurance. good luck.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

I usually wear my underwear inside out on long runs to avoid the tag rubbing my skin raw. Great week so far. Keep it up!

Nice work there Burt!

Will you get a new PR this week for most miles in a week for you?

I think you will keep up the 10 miles a day from now on, now that you have experienced the delights of page one of the mileage board, it's a great place!
