Weather - 20 degrees, sunny. Since I have been diligently working at slowly increasing my mileage, I decided it was time to ease back a bit for the next few days, because this Saturday is the Riddle Run, a quasi 12-28 mile race/training run in Mahomet. I signed up to run 3 x 4 mile loops around the prairie trails, and it would be nice to feel fresh and strong. Today I ran for as long as it felt easy, which was 6.5 miles. I was thinking I would be stopping at 5 miles, so I was pleasantly surprised to have gone an extra 1.5. After the run I walked to Brookens Gym and did 6 sets of strength exercises and stretching.

Good runs this week. Good luck at the race on Satuday, sounds like an interesting event.

Glad to see you have decent weather considering the deep freeze it looked like your area had on the national weather maps. It is too dang cold here!

Jeff - I thought it was cold here the past 2 weeks, until reading your recent entries! Your ability to recover quickly after your fast marathon is fantastic - keep up the solid running, and thanks for the training ideas.
