AM2 - 8

Most mentally aggravating run in years, all thanks to a truly absurd amount of bugs flying at me. Don't know what they're called but they got long legs are thinner than a toothpick and are total pricks. Sounds familiar

AM3 - 8

Only took about an hour recovery between those 2

PM - 7. Hot

PM2 - 7

PM3 - 5

Felt significantly better on this run than the other two PM ones

Soaked and starving

Only took about an hour of recovery between 8s again

PM2 - 7

PM3 - 5

PM4 - 5

Absolute crawl. Weather and work make for less running opportunities the rest of the week but most definitely squeezed every mile possible out of the last 2 days

Felt good, too good. Thought this was my pre-work run but turns out I don't have to go in today. Don't think I've strung together 3 straight 40+ days before, that should change tonight

PM2 - 8

Noticably tanner than I was this morning

PM3 - 6

Think I averaged less than 90 minutes recovery following the 3 prior runs. So obviously I felt awesome on this

PM4 - 6

I've displayed plenty of insane intent through running but 18 runs for 125 miles in just under 64 hours is on an entirely different level. Just as hard mentally as it was physically. And I did it for nothing but fun! Lock me up!

Low-ish mileage day, got most of it done before the rain set in

PM - 6 right before work

Didn't intend to run again but wasn't raining much so got in the post-work mileage earlier

Was willing to call my shot on day 1 of the week of it being a big one and after a lot of thinking the last day or so on how much I can realistically hit I'll double down and say if I don't hit 250 through Saturday it'll haunt me for a long while to come(I don't expect another attempt like this any time soon)

Just wish it wasn't broadcasted for heavy rain tomorrow, but I've made it this far. With a lot of 9 minute miles but who cares

Step by step, mile by mile...

AM2 - 10

Really wish I'd bought new shoes before or at some point during the week; don't think I have a pair of pegs with less than 1200 miles on their tread. I'd have been running in my worn-down waterproof pegs today regardless though

PM - 8

PM2 - 8

Legs are coming back around... No idea how but had some decent turnover the last few miles

PM3 - 7

Felt sicker than a dog for most of it. Maybe because I took a short recovery time after the last run and the coffee didn't have time to settle, but considering it only popped up after my neighbor forced me into a handshake introduction with her grandson, I have my own theories

Anyway after like 5 bit the bullet and forced the issue but even then still felt pretty bad up until right now. Guess that's it for the day

Cold windy and dark. Felt pretty sick by the end too, it passed quickly though

AM2 - 6 right before work

AM3 - 9 right after work

NHL tangent: very excited to see Jake Guentzel on a line with Aho and Svech(would have been way cooler if it were Elias Petterson but alas). Just don't know if the canes' goaltending won't wilt in the playoffs even if Freddie Andersen became a franchise legend last postseason

I will be telling my grandkids(or random kids) about how good Frederik Andersen played in a conference finals series our hurricane got swept in and how it was the most entertaining sweep in sports history

PM - 6

And that's 250 miles in under a week folks. Legs feel fine, have been needing to take a leak somewhat alarmingly often the last couple days but that aside body held up fine for it. Really wasn't keeping on top of my nutrition, didn't take any supplements and spent maybe 5 minutes total all week stretching. It was all off 13 years of distance running strengthening my legs and willpower baby

About 10 minutes of easy jogging that night that I'm not counting. Only out there to slightly work up the appetite
