    Also went over 2500 miles today, 3rd year in a row.

     

    Nice. I just checked mine and I'm about 32 miles over my highest year (last year at 2660)

      Cancelled my Israel trip 

      I have a rest day again today. This plan is kind of annoying.

        Cool!

        I did 2821 last year. I checked after Sunday, there were exactly 6 weeks left in the year. To beat last year I need to average 55 mpw for the rest of the year; to just hit 2800 I need 52. Thinking likely to hit the latter, not sure I will make the effort to hit the former. I've been sort of in that general range.

          I am so sad for you. 

          Also, if you want to run, run. My 2 cents.

            Well, I was trying the plan for a reason so I'm trying to stick with it

              Now that I won't be on vacation it might be easier to get to 3000. Not sure if I want to make the effort for that either

                I think if I had a nice round number like that I might go for it. But, maybe not. Mileage volume goals in general are not as interesting to me as they used to be.

                  yeah I usually just try to focus on the training and whatever the mileage ends up being, that's what it is

                    FreeSoul - Nice work on those calves.  Those muscles can be the hardest to develop, especially if you don't have them.  Fortunate for me I have naturally developed calves.  Unfortunate for me they don't make me run faster.

                     

                     

                    For me, after a 12 day streak it's a rest day.  Mostly because it's our anniversary today.  Need to make a happy wife. 

                     

                    Lol, I'm naturally a thick chick, but getting them to bulge has taken a while. And I don't believe they make me any faster either

                            Me too. I dunno what's gotten into me to try to reach a yearly volume goal. It seemed motivating at the time.
