The basics: 13 runs, 71.4 total miles, longest run of 8.7 miles, no real sustained intensity but some "honest" stretches of at least 15 to 30 minutes hovering at or just below 7:00 pace. My only disappointment is that I didn't get in a genuine long run, not even in relation to my modest (by long-ago standards, of course) mileage. With an eye on last Sunday's 12.5-miler, I was hoping to get in a run of at least 13 miles on either Wednesday or Sunday. But on Wednesday I was handed a last-minute work assignment that demanded a very quick turn-around, and although I could have passed on to someone else, this would have been ill-advised for a number of reasons. And on Sunday, I was going to go for it again in the early evening after spending most of the day catching up on various nettlesome obligations before remembering that I had a Date -- trivia night. I couldn't pass that up knowing my team would triumph over middling-at-best competition (which we did).
