Rolling Along!

Last week was another 70+ mile week, checking in at 72.  My long run on Sunday was only 19 miles.  I did most of it by myself with the exception of about 6 miles when my brother jumped in with me.  This made three straight weeks with 70+ miles.  I am still feeling great about the mileage at this point and hopefully nothing changes.  One thing that I think has helped is losing some weight since the beginning of the year.  I'm down about 15lbs since around mid Feb.  I'm still wanting to be very cautious with my mileage so I've decided to take a down week this week.  I took Sunday and Monday off this week which was nice since I ran every day last week.  I should have around 50 miles this week and then it will be time to pump the miles back up.  I have exactly 3 months before the big race and I honestly can't wait.  At this point I only have 3 races on the schedule leading up to my ultra.  July 15th I'm doing a 1 mile race with a wedding party in Tennessee, I'm doing the Warrior Dash 5k in KC on July 31st and I'm planning on doing the North Face Endurance Challenge 50k(31 miles) on Aug. 28th in KC.  Looking forward to the cooler temps that September will hopefully bring.
