AM - Ran from BYU for an easy run for a total of 13.2 miles at average pace of 7:42. Ran 3.5 miles than joined Sasha for another 5.5 miles with his kids. Then I finished up with another 4+ miles on my own back to campus. Felt good to just run easy today after three days of miles and some decent quality. Plan on adding more tonight.

PM - 5.8 miles in hills around my house including 1 mile with James and Jared. Average pace 7:37, very easy and relaxed the whole time.

Good news is weight is now 133lbs so I am almost back at what I consider my racing weight.

Well this week I set 3, 4, and 5 day all time running mileage highs with 62 miles for 3 days, 83 miles for 4 days and 102 miles for 5 days. I will finish the week of with a 6 day all time high of at least 122 after tomorrow.

Sasha and I discuss the topic of sleep and the importance of it while running high mileage. I found an interesting article on it.

Thanks for sharing article. I know not enough sleep really hurts my running, going to work at 5:30 and up late most nights - when I do get good sleep I seem to do alot better (for me)

Good job all week. You've really worked hard and stuck it out this week. I know how hard it gets on a long week. Have a good long run on Saturday morning and spend the rest of the weekend on the couch and resting while you watch football. It's all downhill from here.
