Hello 100

100 miles in the last 7 days.

Last night's tempo was supposed to be 4.5 miles at MGP (~6-6:05), then progress slightly for 4.5 miles. Splits were roughly 6:03, 5:56, 6:00, 5:54, 5:54, 5:51, 5:51, 5:42, 5:36... avg 5:52. I let Verdo do most of the work with the pace. In the end, it was way faster than I needed/wanted/intended. It definitely didn't feel as comfortable as I would've liked - but that's to be expected given my last several runs.

I'm sore today. Icing the calf and taking Aleve to come back down to earth. I'll also hit the hot tub and take a nap shortly.

I'm happy to see 100 again... but... I'm already ahead of my schedule for the week. I'm now pushing the red line with that many miles a week and a half sooner than I had originally anticipated. I need to exercise some restraint and be patient.
