Another 8 mostly recovery miles today but felt good on mile 6 and decided to make it a fast one at marathon pace. Ran alone today as Meg and her friend went for a bike ride. Did the Azure overpass loop today and felt pretty good most of the way. Legs did show signs of some fatigue at the end but after yesterdays run I guess that is to be expected. With a decent long run tomorrow I will log another week with 50 miles. I can sure feel the fatigue of these 50 mile weeks but I am amazed that I have already done three since SGM and I never go one before SGM. As time has gone on I have slowly been able to increase my mileage and feel less and less ill effects. It is by no means pain free but then again I don't think running is supposed to be pain free. Next week will be a bit of a mini taper in preparation for the Snow Canyon half and then it will be back to the 50 mile weeks until Painters half in January.
Time: 8:28/mile |
