I got lucky and was able to run before the storms hit this morning. I'm pretty serious this week because it will (probably) be my first 100+ 6 day mile week. I'm at 79 starting on Monday and after this morning's run.  For those who don't know me that well, 6 day 100 mile weeks are really my "specialty". When I was in college, my coach and I pretty much figured out that I was just a high mileage guy. Point.  Running less then 80 mile weeks didn't really seem to work for me. In addition to this, I am highly considering running a marathon this year so I would like to keep my training up for that.  Don't worry though, I'm not one of those super crazy guys with training. After 2 weeks of high mileage, I usually do a week of singles and hit about 80 to let the legs recover (and have a week of more free time with the wife). 

Regardless, I hope weather doesn't conflict this afternoon.  I should close the 100 mile 6 day week tomorrow with a cool down after the Dragon Dash 5k I'm running.

Well, this month was a sad month for me because it looks like once again Adidas is no longer making their Adidas Boston Classic training show.  I have gone through roughly 13-16 pairs of them, logging about 6000 miles with them. I loved them and never had any problems doing 100mpw with them. 



I just received my "replacement", the Adizero Bostons.  Hopefully the simplicity and neutral aspects of the Classics are still in this shoe.  The main difference that I hope doesn't cause any problems is that the show is only 10 oz. Pretty light for a high mileage runner to train in.  I already did a morning run with them and they felt good. Time to get an afternoon trail run in so they aren't that God for shaken "new white".  I'll have a full review in another post.
