With my schedule this week, it looks like the following schedule will be how my attempt at 75 miles will happen: Monday: 7 miles AM – Recovery (9’30” pace or slower) Actual workout:  nice and easy.  Legs are hard to wake up. 6 miles PM – Easy (natural, full stride, ballpark 8’50”-9’00”) 8’31″/pace is pretty…

The pants that I bought at the outlet after my first marathon in OBX (Nov 2007) are now at least 3″ too big. That was a year and half after starting running and 45 pounds lost. I’ve also dropped about 20 pounds since. Pre-running: 40″ Now: 32″

I’ve logged 5555.5 running [and run-walking] miles since I started In April 2007. I also completed my second 70-mile week ever this week, roughly 8 weeks after my first. Tons of mileage volume, but how to turn it into marathon-distance speed is the question I’m struggling with now.
