AM: 15.1 miles.  Felt quite surprisingly good after mile one.  Mile one is always a liar.  Sometimes so is mile two.  It's only when miles 3-5 are liars that you really need to wonder about your choices in life.

AM: 10.3 total miles, 4 fast.  A bunch of striders, then 12 x 400 (but really 90 second intervals) followed by 4 x 0:30 seconds.  Splits were all 1:14-1:17, and they felt quite easy and I jogged all of the recoveries.  I almost always default to running the recoveries now which I know is more intended for endurance/tempo style intervals, but at as I get older the constant starting and stopping ruins the flow.  

PM: 4.2 miles, 8:59/mile pace.

AM: 8 miles, one fast helping on intervals with Brian and a couple guys

PM: 9.2 miles with a workout.  Modified michigan- 1 mile hard, 1 mile tempo, 0.75 hard, 1 mile tempo, 0.5 hard, 1 mile tempo, 0.25 hard with John, Jeremy, and Darek.  Splits- 5:27, 5:56, 5:25/mile pace, 5:57, 5:39/mile pace (trees, this one is wrong), 5:53, 5:00/mile pace.

Good workout.  The half and 3/4 mile intervals had something shady happening to the distance measurement, as I know I was working harder and faster than the 5:27 mile, but I guess the splits don't matter in the end with the heat/humidity, it's really about the effort in comparison.

AM: 15 miles with 4 fast in 22:21 (5:35/mi pace) in the middle.

PM: 2 miles to get to one-twenty!

I guess that answers the age-old question- how long does it take to go from 0 to 120 for mileage?  Three months.  However, a better method would be to not take off time to begin with!
