    I like the way you guys dream but I think that might mean quitting my job. That's not going to happen anytime soon.

    6.5 uncomfortable miles, well 5.5 then it got better for the last mile. I've hit over 100 miles for Feb. Now to see if I can squeek out another 9 miles to hit 50.

    I told my coach that I think I'm losing my mind. He said that minds are over rated.

    Oh, the other thing this has done is knock me out of the Athena category. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

    Woohooo!
    You are doing great- heck- about the athena category- just pull a trick like they do on the biggest loser and drink a few gallons of water before you are weighed! - Just Kidding of course!!!
    You'll do great in what ever category you are in!

    Right now I feel like I could eat a horse. And I like horses.

    I managed another 5 miles at lunch. It actually felt better than the morning workout and was faster at the same heart rate. Go figure.

    I e-mailed my coach about all this and how I didn't understand how it was possible to feel so bad at one moment and do so much better the next. He said it was the product of good coaching.

    That makes 46 for this week. I'm going for 50 now. I think I have nearly 110 miles for Feb.

    Mmmmmmmmm beer tonight. Lots of it. And chocolate. And maybe something deep fried.

    It's done. I logged another 4 miles today.

    50 miles, 6 days, about 9 hours and 20 minutes.

    About 115 miles for the month of Feb.

    I think I need a nap.
