Lunch- 5.5 run with Scott, 4.5 xt

PM- PM with Barry, Justin, and Aaron.  Heard all about Barry's adventures in AK this summer.  Raining- we were soaked by the end, so I enjoyed splashing in the mud.  13 miles in 2:03 with 1500 ft climb.  Last run with my Fuel XC shoes- put them in the trash at Barry's.

71 miles the past 3 running days.  Hard this week, then easier next week before Iron Mtn 50 mile on Friday.

Way too tired when my alarm went off at 5:10 this morning, so slept in an extra hour.

Lunch-  ran 2.5 miles warmup on a sunny day to the lake to join some of the guys.  Wanted a BW, but felt like crap so figured it wouldn't happen.  But, Jim coaxed me to join him running laps of the .85 mile loop around the lake to see if I started feeling better.  I never did feel better, but managed to pick up the pace almost every lap.  Lap times were 5:56, 5:44, 5:32, 5:22, 5:24, 5:09, and 5:11 (for reference, 5:09 is 6 min pace).  Felt very pooped by the end, but it was nice to eek out a workout when I expected none.  Finished just over 11 miles in 1:18 with 6.5 fast-ish.

100 miles even in my past 5 running days.

AM- Dupont with Justin and Aaron.  Nice run up there, as always.  18 miles and 4100 ft climbing per Garmin Connect in 3:04.  We only saw 5 people the first 2 hours, then dozens the last hour.  Legs are appropriately tired given the high mileage (138 miles the past 7 days running, 110 this week).  This year is by far the highest mileage-wise.  I already have 10 weeks over 100 miles this year- last year I had 3 total, and 5 in 2010 and 2009.  I should end up with more 100 mile weeks this year than the rest of my life combined.

Now mini taper for a good 50 miler next weekend.  Should be fun.  After that, my focus race will be The North Face 50 in San Fran, with StumpJump 50k and Shut In Run in between.
