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."

Thank You Holly.
My schedule gets hectic over the weekend. I just want to plan a LR, a GMP run, an EZ TM incline run and a hanson strength workout. Where they fall is just a guess.
M - 10 m. TM. 5 m at 8:20 pace, then 5 m at 7:54 pace.
T - 1 m. Really tired today. Decided to chuck it and rest.
W - 11 m. TM. 7:49 overall pace. (GMP run)
F - 18 m. TM.
Sun - 10 m.
50 miles total.
Philippians 4:13.

This was thanks to the strange 10k I ran on Saturday. It was actually a quarter marathon but they called it a 10k. There was a half that did the loop twice and I was supposed to do the loop once, but the route wasn't well marked and many of us got lost. I knew that something was wrong when the leaders of the half marathon were coming back on the route, that wasn't supposed to happen on a loop course and then I checked my gps and saw I had already run over 7 miles. After stopping at couple gas stations to ask for directions I eventually was able to get to the finish after going 11 miles. It was neat at the finish at an intersection, when I was getting there, there were runners from three different directions all approaching the finish
