7.8 Miles Easy

My main goal was just to top the 60 mile mark. My original goal for the week was to top 80. My original original goal before that was to top 90. Needless to say I failed at the previous 2 goals. I now know that I won’t be hitting 100 miles a week anytime soon. It’s just way too hot and my body has been crumbling under the heat. But I reached 60 miles and that is an accomplishment in and of itself. This is the most miles I have accumulated in this current time span. The only thing is that I don’t really have anything tangible to show for it other than the miles. I actually feel about as slow as I have been in a looong time. I have no explosiveness and the ligaments above and around my knees are always tight and start to tighten up really quickly during my runs. I never felt this when it was cooler, its the heat and its kicking my butt.
