AM Long Run - big looped course with Grand View loop in the middle: all road, but, solid elevation throughout to work through and build strength.  Marathon distance completed in 3:36, and feeling fresh and fairly strong at the end.  Drank mostly of all of the handheld full of Maurten drink mix, and ate one of the Maurten Caf Gel. 

Most of the course was a pretty cool loop that was set up by a local bike club from Bloomington.  OPE challenge is what they call it.  Saw 5-6 cyclists fly by on the 22 mi. loop - funny that its approximately a 1 hour ride. 

Capped off a weekly mileage PR (Mon. - Sun.) at 132.62 miles, and I think a monthly mileage PR at 506.  Feeling pretty good about that!!  :)

Nice job on the mileage PR Joe! The most I have hit in a week was about 100-105, and my legs were pretty heavy after that.

100ish mile weeks are pretty doable when properly adapted and trained but this is something altogether!
