RECAP: Wow, what a week. The first part of it was a whirlwind of work and other commitments as I tried to get everything set before I went to Cape Cod for the Fourth of July. The second half was all running, drinking beer and laying on the beach. I haven’t had a vacation in a long, long time, it felt great.

And, most importantly, I finally, after trying too many times to count, hit that fifty mile mark. It hurt, but in a good sore muscle (and not a bad I’m injured) sort of way. I’m pretty damn stoked.

What does fifty miles for the week mean? It means that a full twenty weeks out from my fall marathon I am already running more per week than I ran at the height of my last training cycle. It means that if I can stay injury free from here on out, and can keep up this level of mileage, I should be able to break four hours this fall. It means I am one step closer to a BQ.
