I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
I THINK it helps when I race since that is what I always want to do -- finish strong.

Thank you for all the inputs. I do intervals and fartleks. I don't do tempo runs, and at this point I don't think I will. They just aren't "fun" for me. But I may try some of the other suggestions to change things up a bit. Thanks again. ~Gordo

If you could get your mileage up to about 36 mpw or so with a 3rd of it in a single long run, I think you'd see significant improvement. I'm not talking about once in while--I mean get to that level and hold it there week after week.
Not at it at all.
