I didn't sleep to well last night but I was able to get 11 miles in today to put me over the 100 mile mark for the week.  I wanted to run a little more but I helped my cousin with some landscaping on his yard and then I worked on a house for most of the day.  My first 2 miles were a basic warm-up and then I bumped up the pace throughout the entire run.  My last 3 miles were at marathon pace (6:00/mile).  I am really glad to have hit 100 miles this week.  I did not have a ton of work, family reunions, or anything else come up so I decided to go for it.  It is a new record mileage for me.  I remember when I started running 3 years ago and started out only doing about 30 miles a week.  It is amazing to think how much difference their is in just a few years.  I recall running in basketball shorts and a t-shirt when I first got started.  Now I am practically naked with a singlet and short shorts!  I will cut down the mileage for next week in order to run well at Bryce.  I am looking forward to seeing and running with the St. George guys again.

Welcome to the 100 mile club! We will give you a citation, and post a copy on the board as soon as it is ready :-)

Logan,

Sounds like you had quite the week. I am very interested to see what plays out in that Bryce Canyon Half with you, Clyde "the Glide", and Dave Holt and your 100+ mile weeks. Best of luck in that!
