miles on miles
A lot of hard work has been done in the last five days as the push towards the Chicago marathon proceeds. From Saturday through today I have traveled 90 miles on foot, which is a 5 day record for me. They weren’t all highway miles either.
Last night the team got together at Newton North for BC reservoir fartleks. Sergeant Lutz, Brad, and I were feeling pretty good and ripped 6 x 5min on/1 min off for 35 minutes of solid work. The footing was really good and could be trusted even after the sun set. Yesterday at lunch we did the full 7.2 mile Nobscott loop instead of our typical 5 mile shake-out and it didn’t have any real effect on the work out.
This morning I took it easy into work via Memorial Forest in 54:30. 6:55 pace feels very pedestrian now when I was struggling with it last week. Weird. At lunch was another Nobscott loop in 49:15. we have done our last three nobscott loops with in about 5 seconds of each other. A little scary.
That's all I got.
