Welcome to this week’s Sunday Summary, a roundup of the posts here at Running with Miles throughout the week. The post count has been down a bit lately – it is a direct result of normal writing time being taken up with training. A lot of training! This week, I start hitting my 100+ mile weeks in preparation for the Running Round the World with Miles – 6 marathon distances on 6 continents in 4 1/2 days.
