Monday - 13 miles total - 10 miles @ 7:51 average pace, plus 4x800 on track with 3 minute jog intervals
Tuesday - 14 miles at easy pace - untimed
Wednesday - 13 miles total - 10 miles @ 7:52 average pace, plus 4x800 on track with 3 minute jog intervals
Thursday - 10 miles at easy-ish pace
I didn't have any double days and I didn't split up any runs. With my schedule and life it just works best to get up and get my running done.
Here I am after this morning's run, celebrating 90 miles run in a week.
Here is how I really felt...
and here is what happens within seconds every time I lay down on the floor...
Time to rest up for tomorrow... fingers crossed that the SNOW stops (yes, it is snowing right now) and that my legs will have enough juice left to finish my last 20 miler feeling strong.

Let me just say about the snow.....UGH!! However, here this weekend it is supposed to be near 100 degrees....UGH again!! It sounds like you are doing awesome as usual! Enjoy your last 20 miler...you are almost there! You are so prepared for this race, you are going to be great! : )
If I've learned anything from your legs, it's that they will not only have enough juice, the juice will probably be sloshing out in excess :) You are strong! You inspire! Congratulations on your 90 mile week!
LOVE THAT PHOTO! Aren't kids the best?
You are my hero!! People like you give me motivation to get my hiney out the door and do a measley 2-3 miles! And kids are wonderful! They give me a reason to get healthy, and hugs are the best!!

Love it all my friend!!! KNEW you'd finish your 90 strong and you did it!!! UVM is YOURS!!!!! It is so much fun to get to witness your transformation into the best you can be. So so so inspiring and so great. I think you let others see what we could be if we were to give 100% to every area of our life like you do. You rock!!!!
You are so amazing. What an awesome feeling of accomplishment. I hope one day to be celebrating a 90 mile week. I can't believe it is snowing there! We are hot and muggy, hoping the weather cools off a little. I am afraid to weather stalk because of what happened when I did that for Boston. Enjoy your taper!
WTG!!
I could only dream to knock down a 90 mile week-you high mileage ones so impress me!
