I remember this feeling - and I like it! So, although the miles are not too high yet, the build is still a struggle. I started four weeks ago with 50 and followed that week with another 50. Last week was 60miles, and this week is panning out to be 70-75 depending on how I am feeling by Sunday. Not bad. My legs are just tired! They loosen up once I get going, but getting out of bed takes a touch of concentration. I do get up at 4:30am, so that might have something to do with it as well.
I think I am going to try and run a 5k next month and see how it goes off the miles. I will talk to Joe and see what he thinks. The Bolder Boulder and Cherry Creek Sneek are popular races out here, so I should try to get into those and see how the racing goes. I will not have much speed yet, but I should be getting rather strong! I want to run the Mt. Evans Ascent. It is at the end of June and covers about 14.5 miles. You end the race at around 14,200 feet elevation. That should be a nice one:) I do love to climb!
So, probably 10 more today, 13 tomorrow, and Sunday is currently up in the air. I'll keep updates coming, and we'll see if I can handle those hundred mile weeks.
