Note

Totals for the Month:
Hours 55:56:30
Miles 355
Averages: Day- 11.5 Week- 80

Summary: Was shooting for 100's but maybe, just maybe, that was a tad ambitious. Had a 100, 91, and then it slipped to 70's (partly due to a bladder infection in week 3)
No new injuries. Hip bursitis remained about the same throughout.
Pace was mostly very slow (lots of trails and grass) but managed to work in some quicker strides late in the month. (Fastest mile was 6:53 at the mini-meet week one, along with a 3:17 800.
I would say that 75%+ of the runs were done in 80+ temps. Because, yes, I am not an early morning kinda guy.

Goal: sub-3:00 marathon this winter...maybe at Phoenix Rock and Roll in January. It's a long shot, but if I do it I would be a "world record holder" because apparently the longest span between first and last sub-3's is @ 39 years. Doug Kurtis's brother went for it at Grandma's but failed miserably. Even I beat him. It would also get me in the "6 Decade Club" of marathoners who've ducked under 3:00 in 6 ten-year age-groups. (I ran my first marathon at 16 and first under 3 at 19. Would've done it at 17 but Paavo Nurmi is notoriously hot)

Am I drinking a beer? Why yes I am.

Been stricken with a stomach bug these last couple of days. Up every hour at night... not fun. That'll learn me to OD on homemade curry.
Going out right now to see if I can run long. Will keep to routes that provide a lot of cover, for the inevitable lurch into the underbrush. (Eli got it too and had to dive into a ditch during XC practice this am.)

Note

Well, Critter lucked out. Maybe he'll buy me a beer for two weeks of 95 average. Lost it yesterday. How do people work and run 100 mile weeks?? Oh, I used to. Now I'm soft I guess.
The body is holding together reasonably well. Got to stay on soft surfaces and avoid speed. For a while.
