I ran 10 easy miles last night.
I threw a couple of variations in a sweet 8 mile route I've recently mapped out & was surprised the extra zigs & zags added up to two miles. Except for a long uphill around Mile 2 it's a fairly flat course too. I could've done a few more miles as well but, I didn't get out the door until after 7:30 last night & "24" is on a 9.
The increase in base miles is paying dividends. It also probably didn't hurt that I hadn't run since Friday so, my legs were fresh. I like to do no less than 6 miles for the next two days. I'm off on Friday so, I'll go for another longer run on Thursday night or Friday morning. If I can pull that off I should be over 30 miles before the weekend. Then I can decide if I want to be silly & go for the 40+ I need to make 250 by the end of March. Stupid 1000 Mile Club.
The temps are going up at night. It supposed to be in the 50's tonight. I should be hanging up the running tights until next Winter. Priyanka will be thrilled. She's not a big fan of Men in Tights.

I was just pissed that I had to get out my running tights to run this morning. I thought it was over!
When I figured out 1000 miles it was like 19.6 mpw. I figured I could easily hit that.
Ha! Ha! It cracks me up now.
But if I keep increasing I should be all right.
I must be getting old. I wore my running tights went I went yesterday. It was in the 40's & windy as a Hell. I was cold.
