Previous record was 82 or so back in August. I have the utmost repsect for anyone who can run 100 miles in a week at any pace. That was a very difficult thing to do. Unbelieveable that people can actually TRAIN at that level - it was all I could do to survive!

Sweet work! I have done a couple of them, and I agree. Eat. Sleep. Run. That is all you get.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Awesome! I have enough trouble trying to squeeze in 20 miles a week. Did you skip work? Smile

Thanks all for letting me blast my horn a little here. Really, truly I never could have fathomed how much 'more' 100 miles really is. Props to us all for the efforts we make in our running pursuits! Blindside - I did take a few long lunches at work but I made up for it by leaving early. DB - 500 mile months? You crazy? Don't answer that! Teresa - I had that avatar floating around for awhile - figured after yesterday it was time to bust it out and REPRESENT! I actually went to the UTEP game in El Paso this year with all of my family. Between us (I have 5 sisters and 3 brothers and a bunch of in-laws) we had 9 UTEP grads and 4 UT grads. We had a great tailgate and then headed over to the game. Great time in El Paso. MTA: Teresa, my favorite play of the game - check out how Quan comes in from the left side and absolutely demolishes the OU defender. BAMMM http://videos.utexasclan.com/view.php?id=7059

Let's not lose sight of the race that Ken's 100 mile week wasn't a lot of slow running. He had a nice interval workout in there, and the whole shebang comes immediately after an awesome HM performance. Great stuff man!
