Total/Summary
Total: 105 Miles
Summary: I was able to hit my goal singles total of 100 miles this week and will maintain that amount, plus or minus 5 miles, for the remainder of the summer and the beginning of fall. My legs were tired as expected, so I cut out some of my shakeout runs and drills to make it through the week with a few quality runs. I was very pleased with the 20 miler on Sunday, climbing 5075 feet at an average pace of 6:20 for the run. By the way...I just so happen to have a GPS watch, so this is where I come up with these exact numbers.
Next Week: Maintain my singles total and allow my legs to come around, which they will. Once that happens I will bring my shakeout runs and drills back into the picture. By the way its not the shakeout run in itself that tires me out, rather the fact that I work 40-45 hours a week and wake up at 5:30 for the shakeout run. I do not have a problem srcatching a morning run if I do not get enough sleep that night.

105 miles is kind of weak. Why are you doing all singles? Doubles put the tiger in the cat. Long slow distance makes long slow runners... Maybe if you ran faster than 6.20 pace and split it up into doubles you could run faster than a pathetic 14.23 in the 5k.
Nice running!

Rex, do you have any issues carrying the GPS. I tried one once and it just seemed combersom. Have they gotten smaller? Also are you just stopping directly at the 10.00 mile mark and walking the rest of the way if the loop is short or are you running out and backs or what? I guess that doesn't really matter but I'm just curious.
GPS Watch
I have gotten used to the bulky GPS watch (garmin forerunner 205), so it doesn't bother me anymore. I do know that Garmin came out a new smaller watch 6 months ago, though double the price.
Im usually good at finishing with in 800 meters max left in my run. When that is the case I will simply run out 400 meters then turn back.
Hope you adjust to yours because I find it to be great
