I have been enjoying the run lately. I have tuesday and thursday mornings off, so I ususally do 5-7 miles then, depending on whether I feel like speed or distance. Then on Friday I had fight with the wife, so I ran 7 miles at race pace, broken into 3 runs, with one hour break. Basically I ran 2 miles to a meeting, stopped and noticed that the meeting wasnt for 45 more minutes, ran 3 more miles, then after the hour meeting, I ran home. that was a hot run for me.

The past couple of days I have convinced the wife to get out and run, so my distance is only 3 miles, and she ran without me once, woo hoo. Friday she leaves for Mexico for 9 weeks. So the summer is for speed! I plan on shortening my distances, increasing the times per week from 3-4 to 5-7 and adding a long run. I like to keep my weekly totals to about 25-30 so that I do not kill myself, the goal being to get my 5K time under 20. Then the end of August I will go back to a mix of speed and distance in prep for Disney Marathon in January. I would like to break 4 hours. That means 9 minute miles. Long term, I want to go to Boston, but that means 8 minute miles...

So to answer the question, about 20-25 miles right now.
