I let myself backslide a bit this week. My total for the week was 21 miles — three less than the 24 miles I pushed through last week. The breakdown:

• Tuesday, June 24, 4.5 miles
• Wednesday, June 25, 4.5 miles
• Thursday, June 26, 9 miles
• Friday, June 27, 3 miles

Though a marathon week still eludes me, I did manage to hit a new personal best: nine miles. Eight miles last week taxed me more than Uncle Sam. Nine miles this week was a chore, but my body took it better than that eight-mile run. Afterward, my muscles had a tenderness to them, but I didn’t feel like I’d been clubbed. Go me.
