Last two weeks.

Two more weeks of training down, and things are going very well. After backing off of things the week before and after my brother's wedding, I was concerned that I had fallen off of the training volume I was hoping for going into October, but the past two weeks have gone very well.

2 weeks ago I hit 85ish miles, with a killer mile repeats workout (4 in 5:23 5:19 5:12 5:XX (didn't start my watch but it was definitely the fastest), and a great tempo on sunday (1 up then 4 miles around 6:35 pace up to 5 miles at sub 6:10 pace with 5 down easy). I hadn't had a week like that ever, and I think that doubling made it possible to keep things fast and quality.

This week was a 90 miler for me, my first ever, and I only ran 1 double. 83 miles on singles was a lot but I definitely kept it relaxed and easy all week. Today's 20 miler went excellently - I ran with friends and we all ran pretty well. A 7:30 average for the whole run, including some good climbing leads me to believe that I am on my way to being in good shape.

I put about 150 miles on my NB890s the past two weeks, and 20 0r so on my Kinvaras, both are holding up fine.
