Did 40 last week but included a 12 and 14 on 3 days. Was a fluke. The 7 I did Sunday was a confirmation that I should survive that potential disaster.
Therefore, the run and the eating are banging!

Friday
Nothing on Thursday though I walk ~2 miles around work each time I'm on campus.
But today I did 14 miles with about 1000ft of vert. What's big here is that I backed up the 12 miles on Wednesday and this run was a mixture of road and trail, not the more strictly flat I've been doing to take care of the Achilles.
I was pretty sore toward the end of this run and have some soreness. God I hope I didn't take a step back.
The 50k is about 7 weeks out. Doing 12 and 14 like this are huge for my mental health alone. I will scale back, run consistently and just get stronger. If I can go 18 to 20 in the next 2-3 weeks, we good.
Yeah!

Breakthrough
Unless my feet fall off while I sleep, this counts as a good day on the prep for spring: 12 miles. Compression socks on, beers on the menu, and about 6 miles tomorrow. Want to do at least one more of these this week.
Cheers!
Cheers!
