4.75 + 3.5 = 8.25 miles (Before Breakfast)
Today, I planned on doing a morning run and an evening run. After my (6:45am) 4.75 recovery run, I got home and then walked/fed the dog, and made coffee. All told, this all took about a half an hour. I still had my jogging suit :-) on and felt like I could do a few more miles right there and then. So, I grabbed my Garmin and utility belt and logged another 3.5 miles. I don't have to run this evening! Yeah!
Update: I couldn't resist. I ran 2.5 miles around Welles Park this evening. So 10.75 miles for the day over 3 runs.

16 Mile Run - My Max Before Boston
The Brooks Hanson Marathon training plan calls for 3 long runs of 16 miles a piece. This goes against conventional training plans which call for 20 to 24 mile long runs. Brooks Hanson's theory is that anything over 16 miles takes too long to recover from, and thus adversely affects training. Better to get back running tomorrow than to have to take 3 days off because I just ran 24 today. Today was my first 16 Miler.
Today was the Hustle Up the Hancock. I did not participate, but I got a couple pics of the Hancock Building as I was running by:

The sign behind me says "McDonald's The Future." So, is McDonald's our future?

5 mile recovery run around Lincoln Square. Here's a picture of me from this morning's run in front of a comic book store. When I was a lot younger, I used to go to this store when I would visit my relatives in the big city:
