I always find the logistic interesting, especially for those who work and have other activities, too. Plus, you run a lot more miles than I do, so I wonder how you fit them in! I am spoiled in that I live half a mile from a park with a wonderful paved running path, and then I am also lucky to have a short commute (lately I have been biking the 5.5 miles, which takes about 35 minutes if you include the extra time to change and clean up when I get there. Driving is a shorter route, but still about 25-30 minutes in morning traffic). When I see people with a 1+ hour commute getting the miles in, or those who have to drive to a place to run, I'm always impressed.

It doesn't come as a surprise to me how much thought and planning you put in the day before your big training run. Your approach is a must if you going to fit that high-end caliber marathon training in before a full day of work! Impressive abilities you have to assess all the logistics and chart the plan and strategy to get it done. I really give you kudos for your planning approach for your route in that subdivision, as it well thought out to get what you need to run accomplished in a comparatively safe road environd early morn and weekeday times much of the world simply transit to work. And your last paragraph nails it on the head...not running the race...you simply planning and executing the training run that progressively builds your fitness! Good post on a topic not often out there in blog world of running!

In a way, I enjoyed being on a training plan and configuring my life around it. I can't explain why but there's such a sense of accomplishment getting it all done.
