Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

Hi Holly.
Like C-R, no plan for me either, just run; lots. This being the "All-Star Mileage Challenge week" over in the mileage game group, I'll be running as much as I can. I'll post my totals at the end of the week.
OK, here's the weekly mileage for me.
M - 12.8
T - 14
W - 12
Th - 11.7
F - 15.1
Sa - 16
Su - 11.2
______________
Total - 92.8 miles
I got sucked into that mileage game pretty bad. But, I enjoyed the challenge & feel amazingly good after breaking my previous weekly best mileage by over 20 miles!

18:52 chip time. Not a PR. Lots of faster old guys. But at least it was hot and painful!
Thank you Holly!

Fri 8.1mi (1:17) 6am
Sat 20.6mi (4:20) trails
Sun 11.3mi (1:45) track
Total: 74 miles
Thursday-Friday rest was almost planned, I wanted to save
some energy for the 20 miler on Saturday. Still, the long run
started with a face plant at mile 5, a clear indication that
I'm tired.

Wow! That is really cool! Congrats on an amazing week!
