This is our third time going down to Pekin, Illinois and competing in the McNaughton Park 150 mile foot race. The graph above illustrates the three months preceding the event over the last three years. I approached this year's race a little differently by trying to keep a more gradual increase in week-to-week/ month-to-month increases in mileage. By doing so, my overall mileage is up from previous years and I feel stronger. I have run every day this year and for the first quarter of 2009 have averaged over 11-1/2 miles a day. I truly believe this will payoff at next week's race.
