We got back from Florida Saturday evening!
It was great to be warm!! I managed to put together my highest mileage week to date - 50 miles without running more than 10 miles ( 5 runs - 10 miles each)! I finished the week up with a deep tissue massage at the 'spa' - this deserves an entry of it's own - a little awkward ;-)
Ran my long run today with a little help from Brian and Lisa - thanks!! Had no real plan in mind - figure I needed to run around 2:30, but not wanting to go too far as the organized 21 miler is next Saturday. It was a nice day to get off road, so after I dropped Lisa off, I headed to the 'Camp' - problem is there is no short version of the camp run. Ended up running 2:43 - somewhere between 20 and 21 miles (I figure).
Next week is the organized 21 miler on the course. We leave BC at 8:00 and get on the bus for Hopkinton. It really is like a mini-marathon - run the 1st 21 miles from the start. Seems like a lot of charities pick the same day for their organized run - there will be LOTS of people on the course. Makes for good company/distraction.
Trying not to get ahead of myself, but the 21 miler next week is the last 'long' run. After that it's taper and drive yourself crazy wondering if you did 'enough' ;-)
One more to go (OK 2 counting the actual race day) !
Oh yeah - my March Madness title :
- Highest mileage week of training followed by back to back 20+ milers.
Sure seems like madness to me!
