Danger Danger! High Mileage!

It's that time again. Time for ice baths and sore feet. Hobbling up and down stairs, feeling like my knees are that of an 85 year old.

Yesterday I completed the longest run of my training so far. It was supposed to be 20 miles, but with a bit extra it ended up being closer to 20.5 or so. It was also the most mileage I've had in any given week, I think maybe ever in my life. Though a lot of distance runners tend to log somewhere between 50-70 miles a week, I've never done that. My midweek runs tend to be shorter than they probably should, and I don't have a ton of them. So, last week, I actually was able to get out and run a total of 5 days, bringing my weekly grand total to just over 42 miles! That is huge for me and gives me confidence to keep pushing. I am sore today, but I don't feel hurt in any bad way.

I am just hungry. So hungry. Time to eat.
