Since it's fast approaching, I guess I'll take a cue from Schotz and Elmore and start up a countdown until the start of the Run Across Alabama for Elliott, so here is the first installment thereof:

Good, then you don't have to log too many more crazy mileage days before the race. Last week is enough to wear down anyone's body, even yours.
Is that about as intense as your training ever gets?

That's about as intense as it will get for now. I've hit a little over 100 for a week before (not including the week with the 100-mile race), and I'd like to hit a few more before the next 100.
I'd love to keep up the high mileage, but once I get above ~80/week, I begin to feel those little twinges of burnout approaching, especially since I run most of my mileage alone, so I have a hard time doing more than 3-6 weeks of it before I have to back off for a week or two.
In any case, this week will probably be relatively high (I haven't decided how high to go this week), and I'll back off for the first part of next week as a taper for the weekend...

10 days will fly by very fast. Hope the Run goes really great !
