Met up with Collin, Fritz and Oliver (2nd at Canyonlands) at Highland to put in some miles this morning. Fritz wanted to do at least 18, so I sucked it up and grabbed some chomp blocks. Collin turned around right around 5 and the three of us carried on. Got to the mouth of BCC and headed up Wasatch back to Highland. I felt surprisingly good, and the fact that the second half wasn't at tempo effort helped a lot. I put in over 40 miles in two days, in two runs. While finishing up climbing the hill at the I-80 underpass Fritz and I both discussed if we were running 140 a week this would be a typical day (though likely broken up). It's good to know I can handle this stuff as I have plans for 110-120 mile weeks this summer. I dropped Oliver off after his longest run of the year and went to Barnes & Noble to pick up some books for my flight on Friday. Looking in the running section there were about 10 copies of Born to Run with the covers facing the customer and one copy of Running with the Buffaloes so you can only see the spine, because people are stupid. So I put Running with the Buffaloes in front of the Born to Run books to help support one of the best running books ever written.
