22 miles. Angel Stadium-Huntington Beach-Balboa Pier-Newport Pier. I love running here! My brother came along on a bike and kept me company, such a great day for a run. Only had to battle the strong winds for few miles, pace range from 6:45-7:00 (7:25 in the headwind).

82 miles in 6 days is a PR for me. Oh the temptation to run 8 tomorrow to hit 90 in a week! Sundays are usually not running days though...

 Now I'm jumping in the car to make my way back to Utah. It will be fun to try to walk after 11 hours in the car!

very nice week of training! way to finish it off with a strong 22 miler...you are definitely in great shape right now. have a safe drive back -- make sure to stop frequently for some walk breaks! :)

Allie-thanks for the encouraging words, training is such a mental game! I'm a little freaked out about only having 3 weeks left.

Also, I noticed your concern with your racing right now. I was at a coaching clinic a few years ago and the comment was made to not let your mind stand in the way of what your body can do. You are doing great, and your fitness will come to you!

thanks maika. i appreciate that. i feel like i have fallen into a bit of a running funk over the past month or so. you are right though, the mind is just as much a part of this sport as the body, and positive thinking can really go a long way. thanks again.
