Went for an easy 16 miler this afternoon under partly cloudy skies and temps in the upper 30s. It's my longest single run since Saturday, September 22nd, which was my final long run leading up to SGM. While the run was easy, I recognized the need to get back into the mode of running one 18-22 miler each week. There's a strength, mental and physical, that comes with the longer runs.
With the mileage today, I ended the week with 94 miles, the longest since the week of September 10th when I ran 95. It was also my third longest mileage week ever. I plan to be in this mid 90s to low 100s range leading up to the Eugene Half Marathon in early May. |
