77 miles

Training is going pretty well. I feel that I am adjusting to the higher mileage. 77 miles last week. That is a new record for me as a masters, over 40 runner. My record in my 20's was about 110. Maybe this winter I will go that high again. Today my long run went well. 16 miles. It felt pretty comfortable. It was a bit cooler than usual because there was a big rainstorm last night. I am doing the same loop every Sunday. Honestly it is getting a bit boring. It is a great loop to run, mostly country roads but doing the same loop every week is getting a little tedious. I am thinking of getting an ipod shuffle to listen to on the run. This is a bit blasphemous (sp?) because in my day, serious runners wouldn't use that kind of contraption. But I guess in my day they didn't really have them either.
