Another 8K/5M Run = Highest Mileage Week EVER!
I had to spend a few hours working this afternoon on a translation for work (German to English), not my favorite work, but particularly miserable when the German is poorly written to begin with. Our engineers may be smart and can do some amazing things, but few can write worth a darn.
Anyway, by the middle of the afternoon I was starting to climb the walls. I was just itching to hit the trails. A quick check revealed that my wife was deeply involved with her homework for her night class, so I debated whether I should really run or not the day after my long run. I felt really good, so didn’t think about it too long, rather suited up and headed out.
I did a nice slow 8K/5M loop around the fields surrounding our town, trying to stick to dirt paths as much as possible. I took it really easy, averaging 6:11/K (9:56/M). I stretched good afterwards and don’t seem to have any soreness or aches we’ll see what tomorrow brings.
So I finished this week with a total of 78 kilometers (48.5 miles), my highest mileage week EVER!

Very good goal, 7.2 km more than me! You are ready for the marathon. And it is important that you feel fine with no pains.

Yeah, that's a lot of miles! I had a good mileage week too. Its so funny, the more I run, the more I want to run. I guess that is how anything in life is, the more chocolate I eat, the more I want to eat.
