I'm going to start doing 6 on weekdays (no Fridays off), and less (8-10 only) on Saturdays for about a month before I start having to wrack up the miles for St. George. Since I usually have more time on Saturday's I like to run long.  But I'll try doing more every day to see how that work (If it feels good, I may even get to that 8 every day stage). One of my friends from California runs 10 every day, and that's all she ever does (except a few weeks before a marathon and she adds a few long runs). I'll see if going 6, five days a week instead of 5, four days a week, and then not going so far on the weekends will help me help me 'stay fresh'.   I brought out the Mizuno's I stopped wearing last summer for a change of shoe.  Fresh blood leaking through the mesh by mile 5 reminded me how these particular shoes turn my toenails into razorblades (I forgot what the big brown stain was).  It was a gorgeous, dewy morning.  I hate to curse it by saying how perfect the weather has been.  Now I have the rest of the day to figure out what I'm going to say in my graduation speech!  Wish me luck.

Sounds like a great run! Good luck today, and congratulations! What are you graduating with?

Actually, it's not me graduating. Although I'd like to say, I'm finishing my dotorate...I'm not. I've been asked to speak at a Park City High school graduation function.
