Update

Yesterday I decided to run an extra mile and sneaked in a 9 mile run on the treadmill versus the "normal" 8. I set the treadmill at 9.0 mph (or 6:40 pace) and just cruised through the miles. The legs felt great and the turnover was right where I wanted it to be.

This morning I woke up at 6:00 and went on a 20 mile jaunt. If I had to take a guess I was in the low 7:00 range, but I wasn't too concerned with the pace. I just wanted to get the miles in. The legs too a mile or so to "wake" up, but after I got going I felt pretty good. I had to be careful, though, as the sidewalks had some black ice on them. Overall, it was a good run. You would think that 13 straight days of running (128 miles), would take it out of you, but the past couple of runs have felt great. It's almost like a roller coaster; start out good, hit a plateau and then have a few crappy runs, but then back to feeling good. I still have 5 days left before I can take a day off (figured I'd take Christmas off), but if I continue to feel good I may just hold this and continue to run.
