Another week down

Well, another week of training has been completed. After last Sunday's difficult 16 miles (the humidity was around 80-85% with temperatures in the low 60s), I managed to get in another 23 miles during the week. I skipped my scheduled slow-pace six mile run on Monday due to the cold temperatures, very high winds (25-30 mph) and driving rain that greeted me at 6:00 a.m. Considering that I was tired and sore from Sunday's run, it probably wasn't all that bad to take that day off. I ended up running 6, 5, 5 and 7 miles Tuesday through today (Friday), respectively. Initially the forecast for this morning called for temperatures around 30 with 15 mph winds, but it wasn't quite that bad. I dressed warmly and although it was cold and windy, I felt pretty good. Next up is an 18 miler on Sunday. The forecast looks good as of now, so I'm hoping it will hold.
