7, not on purpose, progressively faster split miles before work at 4:50am.  First mile 8:51, last mile 7:32.  AP 8:00.  Did the same loop six times then decided to break out of that habit for one last mile.  Not sure why  I felt the need to run like that.   Taper in sight.  Looking forward to a little break after my last 20 miler Saturday.  I think all in all  I ran about 12   19-26.2 milers since UVM-- -let me go check and  I will fill it later.    Nope only 10 and one was only 18 miles.  A lot of 15-16 milers as well.   I seem to like to run long.  Thinking ULTRAS are my next adventure after SGM.    I also would like to SWIM across a large lake.

I want to do a 100 miler road race next year. I would swim with you but I'm terrified of open water ~

alright then Wasatch 100/2012 here we come !!! if we ran it together we could get thru the dark and scary parts together. Eeekss. Running the creepy dark up in a mountain range. But I so am all for the 100 mile challenge with a friend : D.

hahaha, I'm totally laughing right now because I meant a 100 mile road BIKE race! hehe

I guess I could attempt a 100 miler only if I can eat Dell Taco bean burritos along the way. We can eat a lt on those, right?!?

I think you will be pretty successful at any running adventure you attempt! I will cheer your swimming from the sidelines. I have to be seriously injured to swim for exercise.

You should definitely feel prepared with that many long runs under your belt!
