With dew points in the 60's and 70's most of this week, I could have easily made an excuse to not run high mileage. But, there has been too much of that the past few weeks, so I hunkered down and ran and ran and ran. There were doubles on Monday and Friday, double digit runs on Tuesday and Thursday, a 5k race on Wednesday and back to back long runs of 16 and 19 over the week end to total 93 plus miles. I will admit, most of these miles were at a relaxed, easy pace, but that's alright. I did run a pretty good 5k in 18:19, which ain't too shabby considering the conditions.
I was a little shocked to see that there was only 10 weeks until the Twin Cities Marathon. Summer is certainly slipping away and it will be go time before you know it. Lots of racing coming up with the MDRA 15k, the Como Park Relays, then finish up the summer with Vicotry 10k, City of Lakes Half Marathon, all before the big event. Love this time of year, you are in good shape and lots of fun racing adventures to take advantage of. Now if we can only get that dew point to drop just a bit...
