Cowtown week 6

Had another solid week of training.
Total miles have more or less leveled off and now times are improving.
This week was capped off by a 2:53 20mi run which was a 3min pr over the 20mi time from 2 weeks ago.
These long runs start to get hard between miles 6 and 12. But I am not having trouble holding the pace. The truth is that if I can put another 6 mi in at around the same pace, I will hit my dream goal more or less.
This week is a recovery week. In addition to my long run dropping back to 13mi or so, coach has asked me to take more rest this week. So I will be off completely today (Sunday) and at least one other day. Most likely it will end up being Monday because I have to drive out to the woodlands and back for work. I could get a session in before I head out but it would mean getting up extra early and that does not seem like it would be in keeping with the spirit of a recovery week.

I feel good right now. Really, I wish the race was in late January instead of late February. Nothing really hurts and I am hitting every split of every session.
