January 21-27: 109 Miles

This week was lots of volume, pure endurance training.  All about getting time on my feet.  Totaled 109 miles, plus a pool running workout.  I am building a good base.  Training in the cold + lots of miles toughened me up this week.  Feels good to be running a lot again.  I am aiming for another 100 this week, with some faster paced runs.  I probably won't go much higher than 110 throughout this winter/spring.  It's just all about consistency and getting enough mileage while gradually working into more demanding workouts and then bringing the mileage down as I get towards racing season.  For now, I continue to toughen up my body and mind.
