Test Race This Week

This weekend I'm running in The Bridge Run in Grand Rapids. The race is put on by RunGR and sponsored by Gazelle Sports(where I work). I've been feeling pretty good running higher milage so far. This Sunday will be a tough test for me. I have 85-90 miles planned for the week over six days so I may be running on tired legs. I plan on just running how I feel, which has been good. I ran 30 miles over a mildly hilly course yesterday at a 6:56 per/mi pace and felt like I had a lot left. Last week was an easy week. Now Im going to keep the mileage up for the next few weeks then start a slow taper.
