The recovery week last week was nice and finishing up it with a good 5K made it perfect.  Now to do a couple really high mileage weeks before my 2 week taper for Javalina Jundred. 

I ran easy on the trails this morning and then finished up with a few strides on the road for a total of 17 miles.

I did a nice easy 3 hour run finishing up with a series of 100 m strides.

Total 21 miles

It was a little warmer this morning. I guess that is good for preparation for my race as I will be racing through the heat of the day.

The long week continues.

16 more miles.  I found a new trail which was really a fun trail to run.  I found my legs getting stronger as I went.

Tomorrow I go uber long.

I decided to get up early and do a 6 hour run before work this morning. I started running at exactly 3 am. I set me Strava and didn’t use a gps watch so I only new what time it was. I didn’t want to be watching the miles tick by on my Garmin. There was a full moon so I could see a long was even without my light. That was nice. Early in the run I had a few bad patches where I just didn’t feel very good, but I seemed to get through it. Four and a half hours in I swung by Blake’s house and he joined me for the last hour and a half. That really helped and looking back at the Strava splits I ran fast over that last hour and a half than the rest of the run. As a matter of fact, my last 3 miles were my fastest miles, all right at 8:30. 

I finished right around 6 hours with a total of 39 miles in an average pace of 8:59. Now I gotta go to work. Tonight I’m taking the Boy Scouts camping. Maybe I’ll actually sleep well.

I didn’t get out to run until around 2 and the temps were in the mid 90’s, so I decided to do a nice easy 6 mile recovery run on the trails. My legs felt surprisingly good considering how far I ran yesterday. 

After logging 113 miles this week, I am certainly looking forward to the day of rest tomorrow.
