I'm finally feeling motivated enough to run again. I've put together back to back 40-mile weeks for the first time since November. I'm still not in the shape I was in last year, when I averaged 40 miles a week for the entire year.

My legs are taking an extra day or two to recover following hard workouts on Saturdays. It's Monday night and my legs are still sore from Saturday's 20-miler. I am participating in the Texas Independence Relay beginning Saturday. The race is from Gonzales to Sam Houston, 202 miles and we've got 24 hours or so to get there. I'm not sure how many legs I am running, but I am responsible for running about 2 1/2 hours.

In 24 hours.

Should be fun.
