I am now 38 miles in to my 50 mile week. The plan for tomorrow is to pull off my first 20 miler for the Mystic Places Marathon. I ran a slow and easy 4.5 miles this morning, had a cup of coffee at Jerry's Place and plodded on home.
My enthusiasm for running is definitely back. I will finish this week with close to 60 miles down, not bad for a vacation. My marathon training plan is simple. Run alot of 20 milers and try to fit in weekly speed work outs. If I can pull off 6 to 8 twentys over the next 10 weeks I will be in great shape.
Yesterday I pulled off a 17 mile run in heat and high humidity. The run was flat, and the pace was also. I ticked off mile after mile at 8:30 intervals. The course took me down Rte 47 through potato and tobacco fields, then across over to UMass, and back up a less scenic highway to Deerfield.
