| Two runs today -- 7.29 with Rose and Mary Jo at Chaffee, and 5.97 at MAFC by myself and with Jennifer. Got me up to 88 miles for the week. I can tell I've done a lot of mileage, but no pain, just tired. Not my mileage PR either; I did 92 once. But it's a really good week. Figured out it took at least 14.5 hours to do that many miles. About 8% of my week. Not that much, really. I could easily have spent that much time watching TV, or playing Bejeweled on FB (come to think of it, maybe I did spend 14 hours playing Bejeweled). I'm being careful about it -- keep the pace slow, listen to my body if it squawks, and back off this week to allow recovery. |

| Again two recovery runs today: 5 this morning to SHS and back, 4.25 with Jen at Creekmore Park. Slow, slow, slow. Legs still feel heavy and tired, which makes sense after 88 last week, but got through both runs OK with no issues. Jen did her run fartlek-style -- run when she wanted, walk when she wanted -- and seemed to get stronger as the run went on, although she was glad when I told her she was done. She never wants to know how much she has left to do until it's done for some reason. Me, I want to know, to get that adrenaline surge of gutting out the last two reps or the last mile. She's the opposite. OK, I can handle that. Also ordered a Valentine's Day present for Jennifer today (if you're lurking, Jen, I'm not going to give you any hints). Work tonight, then off tomorrow to take Jennifer to Fayetteville, Bordino's, and the Hog game. Probably will get in a morning ROUD. Eleven would get me to 275 for January, which would be a nice start to 2012 (and 54 miles over my monthly target). |

| Pushed the pace today, mainly because I was running behind before dinner/hoops date with Jennifer. Got faster and faster; last mile and change was about at 8:20 pace. Felt good to run fast again. I felt pretty strong. |

| Easy 10, some of it in the rain. Seem to have recovered from weekend frivolity (49 miles in three days) with no ill effects. |

| Double today at MAFC -- 4 miles by myself, 4 with Jen. She really didn't want to be out there; she felt bad, her knee hurt, she was in a bad mood, but she persevered and got through in 57 minutes and change, with me as the pacer on the running portions. I told her I was proud of her for toughing it out, and I wasn't kidding. Half the battle is showing up, the other half is sticking it out when you don't feel like it. She did both today. I'm kinda dragging too, but got the 8 done. If I did 8 tomorrow and Sunday, that would be 55 for the week, which IIRC would be my highest total during a work week at Sparks. |

| Easy 9+ at Chaffee with Lionel. At least most of it was easy. At the end, felt pretty good, and I hadn't put the hammer down in a while, so I did. Last half-mile was sub-7:15. I kept accelerating, trying to drop Lionel, and he wouldn't drop -- and he still had six more miles to do! It was cool, fairly windy, and I'm pretty sure the temp went down a few degrees during the run, but all in all pretty comfortable. I think the mitochondria may be there for me now; it wasn't that much of a strain to hammer that last half mile after doing 9 already. We'll see how I do in a race, if I can ever find one on a day I'm not working,. May wind up running the Trinity 5K on the 25th just for S&G. |
