7/19/15 to 7/25/15: New High Mileage? Maybe.

This was a little bit out of nowhere, but I think I established a new upper level for my weekly mileage.  Or probably tied it.  105 and change was the previous high, and that's where I am this week.
The week started out with a tough 10k, and finished with a tough long run.  I was surprised at how well the intervals and tempo went on Tuesday and Thursday considering how wiped I was after the 10k, but whatever I'll take it.

I went out to dinner with friends on both Friday and Saturday night and the question, "what are you training for?" happened to come up.  I'll have to figure that out soon, because at the moment I don't have an answer.  I would like to take a crack at running a fast 2-mile, but I don't foresee any great opportunity to do that.  The next race on the calendar is the Bobby Doyle 5m in Narragansett, so let's just say I'm training for that.

Oh, hey, look at those numbaz!:
