This was a definite tick up week. This was mostly true due to the long run I did today. It was a tough one. A martial arts proverb states that a cup that is already full can hold no more substance. Which is a short hand of saying that if you think you know everything already you can't learn anything new. Well today, I was handed a dose of humility. I was running strong for the first 11 miles but 12 through 14 I bled some time and learned to respect the distances a little more. But without further delay here is what I pulled off:
2/18/08.....46:45 time.....4.05 miles.....11:34 pace.....745 calories
2/19/08.....1:10:32 time.....6.05 miles.....11:39 pace.....1133 calories
2/21/08.....49:19 time.....4.60 miles.....10:44 pace.....878 calories
2/24/08.....2:44:26 time.....14.00 miles.....11:44 pace.....2541 calories
Weekly miles: 28.70 miles
I learned to dig in a little more on this long run. My worst time was a 12:55 which was on mile 14 my best time was a 10:47. I did not record a single mile over the 12:00 mark until mile 10. Overall I am happy, but I have to watch going out too fast on the long ones.

Great week, Rob.
I can relate almost to the mile. Our long runs were almost identical this week, other than 100 miles of I-95.

I noticed the same thing when I checked out your blog. I have a scale back this week so you will probably beat me this week.
HOLY MOLY, you are rockin. Nice work.
Sounds like a great week!
Way to go on the 14 miler!
Thanks for the encouragement, it was my longest week ever.
