Mark...unless you have a time machine, you need to slow down and get some oxygen in your brain. Nice Feb 4-10 week.

I struggle to read the miles that Mark runs, and remember that my measly 6 miles a day avg is enough for me for now....dang Mark, your routine is impressive.

One day, I would love to hear you retell the story of your 24 hour american record...many runners like me weren't running when you did it, and I don't know much about it.
