This week was my third longest week of running ever, and April will finish with 394 km running which I'm pretty sure is the most of run in a month ever. Other than the fact that I"m rather tired from the last three days of running (99 km, 12 hours and work) and will be taking ibuprofen to get to sleep today, I feel good. No painful issues.

Very much looking forward to recovering and tapering to the race in two weeks. This week I spent 13% of my time awake running, and probably 20% of my awake time running or preparing/traveling and other stuff from running. I will probably rework my schedule next week to both my long runs on work days, so I can have a day where I don't work or run, and it will be glorious.
