I'm running for time so I shouldnt care, but I flirted with high 60's last year and never made it past the 70 mark. 70.8 miles this week - especially unusual since my normal midweek mid long was cut a bit short. WOOT!

No, I still have no ability to run at my old paces. But I am going to have FUN in Boston I think

very good work Ennay.

the paces will return in time.

Amazing! How can you run that many miles in a week with little ones? I can barely get in 40. Awesome job!!

Always one more, you're never satisfied
Never one for all, only one for me
So why draw the line, meet you half the way
If you don't know what that means

NICE job Ennay!!! BTW once you've done 70 you don't wanna go back Smile

Congrats, Ennay.

Coincidentally, I was going to start this same thread, as I made it to 70 this week for the first time as well. I tip my running cap to those of you who can do this regularly, as it's not an easy thing to achieve.

I just hope these miles pay off next Saturday in my goal half.

2011 goals:
sub 6:00 pace 5k
sub 39 10k (38:02)
sub 1:26 half (1:26:07 d'oh!)

70 (Read 699 times)
