Total Distance
21.00

90 miles this week which, for me, is an all-time high.  I think that personal record will stand for quite a while--I'm beat.  I ran 2 miles around the Albertsons loop and then 4 miles into the city center and jumped on the Pear Blossom route for next Saturday.  The course is 5 miles out, 5 miles back and I threw in a 6 mile tempo run after 3 miles on the course:

  • 5:53
  • 5:50
  • 6:01
  • 5:52
  • 5:59
  • 5:46

The quicker pace felt somewhat easy until the end and my hips tightened up and I was ready to be done.  That wasn't a good thing as I had 6 more miles to go before I was home.  I ran to the Comfort Inn by Harry & David and grabbed some water and downed some Gu and then ran the last 3 miles fairly rejuvenated. Overall pace for the run was 6:59; maybe a little too fast.  I didn't mean for that to happen so....woops.

Wow. Phenomenal week. Great job. 90 miles would be a dream come true for me.

Thanks Jun! When I first started blogging on here I ran 30-45 miles a week and I can still remember the first time I hit 50/week. That seemed like a ton in 7 days :). Anyway, just saying it's possible for anyone I guess... Sorry to read about your back. Hope it's a speedy recovery!
