After yesterday’s 3 hour nap and sleeping in until 7:00 this morning, I should feel pretty well rested. And when I got up I did feel a bit rested. Once I was out running, though, not so much.

The plan today was to run 16 miles in the morning, and then meet up with a friend for another 8 miles on the trails this afternoon.

The 16 miles went by pretty quickly, but about 12 or 13 miles in my left foot and my rear right cheek were getting a bit achy. They had calmed down by the time I got home though.

After this morning’s run, I spent most of the afternoon laying around eating. I had a banana, a ProGrade Workout Smoothie, a cantalope, some home made pancakes, and various and sundry other items I found laying around ready to be consumed.

I wound up running my evening run alone, so instead of heading for the trails I opted to get it over with quickly by running the local roads.

Thankfully, my foot and cheek were no longer achy. Possibly from all the food I’d been eating, but probably because I made good use of the foam roller a few times in between workouts.

This week I ran over 148 miles. That just seems nuts to me, and is well and above anything I have ever done before, including college when I used to actually run crazy mileage.

There are now only 7 days left to the challenge, about 196 miles.
