60 miles new PR

So sorry I’ve been out of writing blogs for the past two weeks been pretty busy with school work and finals trying to keep the GPA near a 3.8-4.2. So anyway, lets re-cap the 7th-13th of january. That was a fun and hard week of running. This is the first week where I experimented with the 20 miles a day thing. It kind of worked out, I found out that I can recover extremely fast like in 10-15 minutes after running 20 miles I was like wow!. So then that weekend not as exciting when I reached 52 miles because I didnt do it with a group. But on Saturday at 5 in the morning again I began my quest to see how long I could run that day because I had the whole day to myself. I originally set my goal to 75 miles to ready myself for a 100 miler I might be doing early february. Then after a hard 18 mile leg of the 75 miler around 12:00 noon I was beat, I ran it way too hard, way too fast. So I took it easy on the next couple of legs slowly climbing up in mileage until I was joined by my mom, sister and my friend Zach who helped me finish off the run to an even 60 miles which was really nice to get too, I would totally post the nikeplus report of it up however the nikeplus system has repeatedly failed me…apparently its not made for long distance runners but i wont get into that. So highlights again are my new PR is 60 miles in one run and that took me 9.5 hours where as last time it was 52 miles in 12 hours.. call me dumb for going fast but it was fun, just felt like someone had taken a hammer and beat the heck out of my foot..
