Pushing the Limits

Been pushing (for me) a fairly aggressive running schedule, pressing into the + 5 miles distances. Felt visibly weaker today after running 5.47 miles--after having already run Tuesday (5.01 mi.) and Wednesday (3.75 mi.). Time and temperature are working out great in the mornings. Will try to back off on the manly desire to increase more, more, more--and stick to the pre-marathon training plan: Tue (3 mi.), Wed (4 mi.), Thur (4 mi.), Sat (4 mi.) and Sun (6 mi.), carried forth for about four to five weeks. Next week I think I'll be prepared to make that happen--and reach that six mile mark next Sunday!
