Yes, Sarah, your plan sounds GREAT!! 20 miles a week, girlie!! WOWZER!! Did you ever think you'd do that????????????????? I am so proud of what you have accomplished and how committed you are!! Think of your rest days as STRENGTHENING DAYS .. you will notice after a day off that your next run will be stronger and better than ever!! TRUST ME!

Tex, I'll be cheering for you Sunday as you cruise those 10 miles!! YAY GIRL!!

No run for me today ... 20.2 already this week and 13.1 more coming up tomorrow!!

Thanks for the cheers Betty-- I will be doing the same for you tomorrow morning.

I will check back in tonight with my final tally for the week.

Thank you everyone who put their "soles" to the road this week, you all keep me going!!

Sarah, I had the same question but you beat me to it! I think sometimes I feel like I should be running more nights because I still can't go more than about 2 miles without pooping out, but I realize that just comes with time. I run one day then rest the next, so some weeks I run 3 times and some 4 (obviously). On my "off" days I weight train a bit and walk. I still haven't gotten my bike fixed, but I'm hoping to do that this weekend!

In other news I did Run 2 of Week 6.2 last night. *g* But I RAN AND RAN. I walked for five minutes, then ran a mile, and because that didn't feel like enough I ran another mile, so instead of running for 25 (which is what week 7 calls for) I ran 30. I don't know why I thought I couldn't do it! Running is such a mental game, you know?

Anyway, it was great. I go out again tomorrow night. Yay!

DID awesome ran my first 12 minute mile so I am stoked and it was my last mile it was actually a tiney bit faster then 12 minutes but not much so I finishe my 3 miles in 40 minutes on the nose. The first mile I was slow second one I ran at 4.5 and 3rd mile I ran at 5.3 MPH. Boy I am sure loving running these days and for some reason in the last 2 weeks it has gotten so much easier it's like my body was ment to do this. I can run my heart out now and I feel great and want to do it every day but, like Betty said we need rest days. I am happy at where I am right now it makes me feel really great about myself. I am sure I have lost wieght positive. But I won't know till the 6th of September marking down the days.

Again Great job Sarah!! You are having the best week ever!!!!

Just finished up 3 more miles making todays total 9 and my weeks total---30miles. Not bad for taking an extra day off.

Good luck tomorrow for everyone doing their long runs. I will see you all on Sunday.

Put me down for a new mileage record, 13.5 miles today!! It was hot, no breeze, but we got an early start (before 7 am) which helped. I tried to do the "sunny" part of the trail early and enjoy the shady parts as it began to really heat up. Worked out pretty well. I finished in 2:38, so that was a fairly good time. All right ...REST DAY TOMORROW .. In total, 33.7 miles this week.
