Total for week: 105 miles
--1st half of week I was still recovering from last week's 115. Tuesday's workout was slow but I got through it well enough to get the benefit. Thursday's tempo was a little wind-aided, but I was VERY happy with it as conditions were almost identical to the 21:10 race I did a few weeks back and this run was very much under control.
Another ~100 next week before cutting it back for a possible race.
