201 miles - 13 runs - 27 hours 51 minutes
I was nervous about last week - It is my annual "Go out north to golf and drink weekend". I have been in such a great rhythm that I hated to get into a bad rhythm this close to FANS24.
I concentrated on being spot on for eating, sleep and running Monday - Friday, not knowing how much I would fall down over the weekend. I made sure I got up to the cabin too late Friday night to drink by stopping in Hatley and running 26 miles on the Mountain Bay rail trail. That was a fun run with a lot of bonus protein (mosquitoes) at dusk.
I had a blast golfing with Scott, Tom and Brian Saturday. Golf, alcohol a good bar burger and the Kentucky Derby. I insisted that Scott and I were going to drive down (25 minutes) to see our friend Dan who was in town visiting his family and for opening fishing. I have not seen Dan in 3 years. I think this saved us from the usual totally sloppy drunk night.
Sunday rain forced a cancellation of any golf or fishing. This got me home at a reasonable time and I ended up running 45 miles on the TM. I thought about hitting 50+, but I still felt good at 45 so I took the money and ran with it.
It turned out to be a really good training week made even better with some down time with friends. Now I just need to keep riding the goodness into taper and racing.
Good running to all!
The only person I know who can legitimately say "I got home at a reasonable time, so ran 45 miles on the treadmill".
