Awesome, DB.

Bonne chance!

No. There’s some things it’s better to do all by yourself.” Augustus Hill, Oz

Halfway through March and 434 for the month, so far. Amazing few weeks there, DB.

How you holding up?

He ran 100+ miles in 3 days.

Amazing.

Feeling decent.

I actually skip a run or 2 if I start feeling too toasty - I skipped Monday morning.

Monday night was my 1st outside long run of the year - Nice, Nice, Nice.

I do believe what keeps most people from running a few more miles is not so much their legs as much as not getting the right Nutrition, Hydration, Electrolytes and Sleep. When I get low on any one of these, I get frazzled quickly.

Of course - Running only 1 speed workout each week - If much easier on the legs than 2-3 or 4. I lookk forward to the 2nd week in April when I add the 2nd speed workout and increase the intensity of the 1st.

It will be interesting to see how this experiment turns out. Will I be better off or worse off for the 24 hour race. You never know unless you try.

I relly hope I can keep at 170+ MPW through April 4th. But if my body demands something different, I will listen.

PS

I have no bad feelings to Scott ... I really want to do the best I can and I hope we both can hit one out of the park.

We're 3 days into the week (almost) and DB has 83 effing miles down. His light day has been 20 miles.

Okay.

Also, once you've competed for team USA in international competition you are allowed to wear your USA singlet in competition whenever you want from then on (note Meb winning NYC in his USA vest.) If I were DB, I'd wear that thing in every pump-n-munch 5k jog-a-thon for the rest of my life. Just sayin'.
