40 Mile Week

This week, the last week of Feburary is the 2nd highest mileage week I've ever had. Last Sunday the 10 mile group run, then Monday the 4.5 mile group run before the Road Runners meeting. Rest day Tuesday,then Wednesday a 5 mile tempo run with/for Marsha, 1/2 mile warm up and a 1/2 mile cool down ended up at 44 minutes and a 8:45 pace. Thursday off and another 5 miles Friday morning with Abra and Marsha, 9:19 pace and 50+ degrees when we ran and 30's by afternoon. Then to top off my running week, Dan D. arrived here this morning at 8:00 a.m. and we took off to meet Chuck 1.5 miles later and run a nice long COLD loop around Medina in 2 hours and 20 minutes, we dropped Chuck off when he was around 12 miles and we continued on to get to 16 miles on the nose averaging a 8:47 pace for the day, of course bringing that average pace down by running the last mile in around 7:30. A nice finish for a cold, windy barely 20 degree day.
