Total Distance
7.00

 Good run today, finished off with 4 striders at the end. I missed Thursday so I ended the week a bit short of the mileage I wanted, but my legs are feeling much fresher than a few weeks ago and on hills (which are plentiful through my normal routes) I feel stronger. I'm planning 9 for Monday as I begin to increase mileage, and I'm going to try and work in some up-tempo work next week as well.

David, do you know Jake Fuhrman in Providence? He is my uncle. His wife Valene died a few years ago. You may know some of my cousins, but they would be in their 50's and 60's; Deon, Frank, Blaine, Neil, Faye. They lived across from the old school (the way I remember it).

Yeah, I have been playing quite a bit of Basketball, and that is a weard transition into distance running, but my season is winding down now. I am working up slowly like you are, but at the same time I know that Del Sol is going to kick my trash, so I am getting in as much as I can handle.

I think for you, 40-50 miles is a good base to work up to. You know me too, I'm the same way, medium miles and some cross training is the best package I have found. 100 mile weeks would destroy my body, plus I would never have time for that anyways or the motivation. Everyone has their own preference and theories, so find what works for you and go from there.
