600 and Counting

Since my 35-mile bike ride I've gone running every day!  Monday was an easy recovery run with the guys at work.  My quads were a bit sore at the end of that run so Tuesday I was planning to take a day off; however, by the time I got home from work I was feeling pretty good so I talked Amanda into running at the dirt track at the fairgrounds.  She ran 3 miles!  I forget the exact time but she maintained a 14-ish minute pace by running a no-walking 12-minute first mile, then walking four of the final eight laps while maintaining a 12-minute pace on the running laps. 

Today I went for a solo run at work during lunch - I couldn't join the regulars due to a schedule conflict.  It was a great run, covering six miles instead of the usual five and giving me plenty of time to ponder and draft my latest Why Run? article about running's role in dealing with tragedy.  Going the extra mile (literally!) turned out to be quite significant - my yearly total is now 600.8 miles.
