Why do they call me "double" d? Here is why...

February was a solid month for me with mileage very similar to January.  I did a lot less “triples” (three runs in a day) in February, but made up for it with more doubles (two runs in a day).  I count the warm-up, warm-down, and race on a race day as a single run, so basically I ran at least twice on all non-race days.  60 days into the year and I’ve run 116 times or nearly twice EVERY day.  Although my average mileage is good (over 12), I’m only doing about 6 miles per run.

I guess it is working as I’ve been able to train, avoided injury, and set a bunch of 40+ PRs.  I’m just about to turn 48 so this is my 9th year as a master (40+), I think it is not typical to set PRs that late in an age group.  Not many people would call me “typical” J
