Flashes of Panic

Today I opened the first box of Girl Scout Cookies, which had “30 MPW” on the end.

You might recall that I label each box with a weekly mileage. I modified the rules this year, so not only do I have to run the miles, I have to feel like I could run it again the following week; this keeps me from running more than I should and re-injuring myself just to get into the cookies. I actually ran a 30+ mile week back in March, but it wasn’t repeatable. (My training weeks actually end on Sunday, but today’s the first day I’ve been hungry enough to crack in to the extra cookie supply. Maybe it was biking in.)

The next box is marked “35 MPW.” I doubt I’ll get there this week, but maybe next week.
