14 miles this morning. I was proud of myself, I actually got up at 5:00 a.m, it was nice to get done with my long run before it even got hot. Felt pretty good throught the run. Ended up doing some marathon pace miles inbetween and towards the end. I averaged 7:07, not bad, but not really good either.

I feel good and should be in good shape to pick things up a little next week. The achilles tendon hasn't bothered my all week. I haven't even felt it, which is a good thing.

Breaking up my miles in two work outs is actually easyer on my body. Plus I am able to get more miles in each week. of course Ibprofen does wonders. I have to eat right and get enough sleep. I only take ibrofen after a meal. Never on a empty. I think 70-80 milesis my max. If i run much more the injury bug starts to appear.

This is starting to look what Mike Kirk once called "on the verge of training". From now on, I would approach it this - way - the day does not end until you've run 10. If you feel tired run 8:00 or slower, as slow as you need to get in the distance. Otherwise, go faster. But absolutely do not end a day with less than 10 miles!

On the other side, do not overdo it on the high end. Keep the peak no higher than 75. I've met a lot of runners who said they ran high mileage before a marathon. They crashed pretty bad. Upon further examination it inevitably turned out that they hit some incredible high mileage for a couple of weeks after months of slacking off. They've run their marathon right there in those high mileage weeks, to them with that kind of preparation it was as stressful as racing a marathon.
