4 days in a row...
Tomorrow will be my 4th day in a row running. Make that one more first for me this year. I've done three runs in 24 hours (and will again in ~6 weeks), but never this quantity and distance either. Felt good today for my 3 miles, what I will call my Maintenance day. Yesterday's 6.8 I was feeling in my legs, but was able to keep my pace. Yoga at lunch helped I'm sure. 6 on Wednesday should be fine...the test will come after Friday's run when I am planning on 18 trail miles Saturday at Paris Mtn. Think I will need to slow down, maybe 5 extra minutes on each loop, for about a 3hr 15 minute run. I keep wondering if my legs will ever get to the point where they are not heavy after so many miles...if I get up to 40-45 miles a week, will they be stronger for the first 35 miles? Guess I'll have to get the mileage up there, hold it, and find out!

It really is just six more weeks until Palmetto200. I think I have to focus more on running again! ;-) Just the other day, I decided I want to do my legs in distance in a 24 hour period (Sat AM, Sat PM and Sun AM)... Maybe three weeks before the race...
Great job on getting your mileage up!
