Week 18

The weather for running has been surprisingly good the last few weeks other than the cold temps, we have had no snow to speak of which has made running outdoors easier that I remember from last years training. I had runs of 6, 9, 7 and 12 miles this week for a total of 34 miles for the week. The last 12 miles were with the DFMC team on the bike path that runs through Lexington, Arlington and Bedford. Again it is nice to get out and run with the group and talk to the different members and see how their training and fundraising is coming along.
I am going to take some advice from one of the DFMC teammates Froggie Ted and will be taking the school vaction week off to get in some much needed rest. So far for the training period begining in September I have logged: 534 miles, total running time of 74:30, with an average pace of 8:30, running 76 of 167 days. So I feel one week off can help the body, mind and soul recuperate for the home stretch.
