Well, the training has hit its halfway mark. This week, I have a stepback/recovery week. I'm headed to San Francisco for six days with R. and two friends for some R&R. I'll be surprised if I get in 50 miles in this week, but the aim is to keep fitness up by going for a mid-week 10+ miler, and try for a daily run of 5 miles which should only take 40 minutes of time. If I can get out of San Fran with 30 miles in me, i'll be very pleased and will make up the mileage when I'm back in Toronto.
July's been a big running month. I still have four potential runs left and I've already hit a monthly high mileage of 256 miles, up from last month's 249. Consider that the top running months I've ever had was 228 miles this past March. In the past six weeks of training, i've topped 60 miles five times, peaking at 71.
In any case, after the recovery week, I have another 5 weeks of heavy training before the taper starts.

Running 7 days a week is pretty intense! Wish my foot could take it. Great job, have a fun vacation
Bonjourno! I managed to get in a short run today in the heat and with hills. I went much slower than normal and can see I won't be doing any 20 mile runs here, but I think I can maintain where I am. Hope San Fran is fun!
