Monday

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!

Tuesday 2/19

Logging the exercise on Attack, but things are plugging along nicely.  The achilles feels great.  The food is solid as well though I still need more veggies throughout the day. 

Looking to put a couple of 10 to 12 (even one 15) milers together somehow this week.
