good job. I've been hitting 18 mi this summer. Have to be careful because last 20 mi week this past spring caused IT Band and hamstring injuries... An old fart like me needs to increase it more gradually. Maintain that base and good luck to ya!

2013 goals: keep on running! Is there anything more than that?

Awesome stuff Smile

Keep it up, keep running smart. I just ran my first 20-consecutive days ever, in my entire life, which doesn't seem like much but my body worked with the tune of taking at least one day completely off, and one day easy every week. I was having trouble breaking free of that, even with making it another easy day,but I think I beat it by stretching and recovering smart Smile

Same thing happened to me last spring! Got cocky after running first 10k a full minute faster than i trained for. Had to cut back for almost 3 months, especially after shin splints added to the IT Band issue! Used Galloway's run/walk approach to heal up and re-build base. Am about to get to 20 mi week again in order to run a half on 11/8. Ran first 15k yesterday w/o problems.
