forty!

sunday: 8 miles, roughly 7:45 pace, in the arb. i had planned to go 5 on sat and 6 sun, but after the day off on sat, i decided that i could go 7 on sunday. once i got going, my legs felt astonishingly good for having felt so well-worked on friday, and i realized that if i ran 8 miles i'd get 40 for the week. that would be a nice milestone after a few weeks of goofing around in the low 30s. my legs were still feeling good in the middle, so i went ahead and did 4. the only thing that felt tired was my quads, which i felt increasingly on each hill. that was kind of funny, given that it seemed that the backs of my legs from hips to ankles were what was so weak during the workout. clearly it worked the quads too and they were still a little tired. tomorrow may be slow, but i'm bound and determined not to go short!

week recap:
40 miles, 10 mile long run, 2 workouts. booyah!

next week's goals: 40-48 miles, depending on number of days (6 vs 7), 10 mile long run, 1-2 workouts. saturday we have a meet at river falls that could be a long one, so it's quite possible i won't be able to get a run in that day, but i'll sure try!
