Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
9.00	0.00	9.00

Time for the weekday miles to take another step up. After the cut back week last week things start to get serious again with the training. Did several sessions on the inversion table over the weekend and took my last dose of IB last night with dinner. The back is not 100% yet but it is feeling better. No verdict yet on the inversion therapy. I imagine it will take a couple of weeks for me to decide if it's working or not. Another hot day today but not as humid as it was over the weekend. Starting temp this morning was 88 with out much of a breeze at all. The weekly mileage goes through the roof for the next 7 weeks until the taper, I hope my body holds together during this time.

Time: 1:13:26 8:10/mile

Jeff, I was dissapointed with the race report as well. I thought I had it at 17. I was even thinking about putting the hammer down for the final 10K. This race is a silent killer. You just can't believe how fast your legs go, I was shocked! I have talked to several people who have ran Des News, then finished 15 - 20 faster at STG the same year. That atleast gives me some hope.

Good luck with your higher miles, STG will be exciting!!

I hope the back is 100% soon! I know you will do great with the high mileage coming up...I am like you though not looking forward to it at all!

Awesome job. Time to amp up before the taper. WE are going to do it this year. Take care of that back we got work to do.:)

You are getting into the meat of the training program now. Keep up the good work. It is worth it.

Way to go Jeff, great start for the week! You'll do fine with the ramp up.

Thanks Andy and Mark. I've got no problem with the extra mileage, it's my old back that I am worried about. It really seems to cause me grief when I get to this stage of the training.
