Friday lunch run (6.63mi)

Even though I've ran everyday this week, since it was a relatively nice day out and my long run this weekend is going to be on Sunday (which gives me Saturday to rest), I figured I'd get in one more run today. Nothing too difficult but again, just something to keep the legs loose. The relatively nice weather this week has been a real great welcome break to the cold/winter conditions that have prevailed thus far. It was a good run. Sunday to Sunday will definitely be an all time high in "weekly" mileage for me. I realize that's technically 1+ day extra for a "weekly" measurement, but regardless, it's still a lot of miles for me in that time frame. I think it all makes good sense though, as I "should" be hitting my stride at this point in my training, and I actually really do feel like I am. With the new shoes this week and everything, I've been feeling really good, and am just crossing my fingers and hoping everything continues going this well through the next 3-4 weeks, as this will definitely be the "thick" of my training. The 22 mile run coming up this Sunday will be a real good test and measuring stick to see how "ready" I am for sure...

I also just want to quickly say thank you to those of you who have left comments on some of my postings, as it's really nice to hear that there are people out there who are listening to my ramblings. Thank you all so much for your continued support, and I'm truly grateful to have this opportunity.
