Another link

Each week is another link in the chain of weeks and months and years it takes to be successful. This past week I got 64 miles in with the same speed workouts as last week. It was a little harder this week because it has finally started to get hot. Rainy season is almost over and it seeems like the long hot summer is about to start. The Osaka area is one of the hottest and most humid parts of Japan. It can be very oppressive in the summer and I am hoping the real heat is slow in coming this year. I have been trying to bump up the mileage to the 70's for the past couple of weeks but it hasn't happened. It takes another jump in the level of commitment and it means I can't miss any runs. Whatever happens, storms, fatigue, sickness, laziness I can't miss a run. It will be easier after school finishes in a few weeks but I wouold like to get up to the 70's before then and hopefully into the 80's through vacation.
