12 more today

Slowly starting raising the mileage, so i cranked out another 12 instead of 10 today.  I felt exponentially better than I felt on yesterday's run, but Karma faded a little on his 2 mile tempo.

Hopefully he'll get plenty of good napping today so he can perform again tomorrow!

I officially crossed the 1,700 mile mark for the year, which puts me well on pace to run farther than the 2,984 miles I ran last year, since three, possible four, 350+ mile months are right around the corner, and I think I'll even top 400M for one or two of those months.  I loosely played with August's numbers, and I should barring injury top 300 miles.

My friendly 12 pack of beer bet* (of who runs the most miles in 2009) with Brownie in Colorado will be tough to bring home, but no excuses.  I'm pretty confident that I can make it close. REAL CLOSE, even though he just crossed the 2,000 mark this week, and will add another 100 miles (of walk/runnning) this weekend at leadville, then another big long races for him.  But that's where his downfall will happen.  He'll lose so many miles due to taper and recovery, that the 100 miles in 24 hours, will actually by a "Rabbit and the turtle" thing, where my 70-80 mile weeks will be better in the long run.

*Brownie... I've decided it's a 12 pack of beer.  Any flavor.
