The last 4 weeks I have gone 96, 86, 106, 100. When running this much, I try to get as close to 50% of the week's mileage on soft surfaces. The more you run, the more important this becomes. In addition, plenty of stretching, foam rolling, and strength training must be kept up. I need to get in the pool at some point again though to get in a solid cross training session. It was cold on Wednesday, but not nearly as cold as Thursday, which was a good thing I didn't wait until Thursday to do the track workout. In the meantime, I am finalizing bits and pieces of my 2014 schedule, and am focused on the half marathon championship in 5 weeks.

w/ Chris Mills in 2:16. We started at Fletcher's Boat House circa 6:45 AM and headed towards Georgetown, picking up Rock Creek trail from there. We started easy but picked up the pace the second half of the run. We sped up and hammered a bit the few last miles down the CCT. It felt nice going downhill toward the end of this run.
Sunday: AM: 11 miles @ DC/MD line and Rock Creek Park Trails
PM: 6.5 miles @ Seneca Creek Park Trails.
Total: 100 Miles
