7 this morning, very hilly and done at a quick pace (for me). Good workout. Heading out to my daughter's first game of the season, she's cheering for football this semester. And maybe I'll get a double in today.

Oh and I just got told I'll be pacing my buddy from mile 49.7 to the finish, I'll be getting my 50 miler this year after all... If only I knew before today, lol.

51 miles for me this week. 2 more weeks of this and then taper time. I spent 8 hours running this week and I'm just thinking about a whole extra hour of sleep that I could be getting every single night

Pretty smooth 33k yesterday. I didn't hurt too much and I felt for the first time like a marathon was pretty doable

Awesome job kamper, sounds like you're ready.

I did 4.25 in the dark tonight. Man is it spooky to run trails way out in BFE at night by yourself. I am a big guy, not typically scared by much. But when it's dark and you hear large branches cracking and breaking and then see the glimpse of eyes reflecting the light of your headlamp, it WILL make your pulse rise, it sure did mine. lol

Thanks. I feel like I still need some good runs in the next two weeks. Actually, 2 weeks from now I have a half marathon so I only really have one more long run, but I think I am on track. Just need to be confident in that. It's scary doing a race that's quite a bit longer than any training run I've done.

 

[Megatomic]

I know what you mean. And the longer the race the more true that becomes. Hardly anyone does a 50 mile run before a 50 mile race. Same for 100k and 100 mile events. You just trust your training and ability to do the time on your feet. RFM.

Did another 5 miles this morning. Was a nice mist to start out but it stopped about half way through the run. Great temperature for a run.

I did a 5 miler last night, just before dark. In the trees it was pretty dark and I didn't have my headlamp. Now THAT was a fun trail run.

Do we count cycling? (How about take half of cycling trip onto AT mileage board).

 

[KeithTalent]

Did a slow 5 this morning. My right calf started to bother me part way through; I think it's time for new shoes!

Others can voice their thoughts, and not to discourage your contributions, but I personally think this thread is about feet-on-ground, not-mechanically-assisted movement. We do have some ellipticalers but at least there one step is still roughly equivalent to one step on the ground. Biking, even at a 2-to-1 ratio, is quite different.

Have you considered a cycling mileage thread? I would probably get out on my bike more and add a few miles occasionally to it.

 

[Megatomic]

I vote for a cycling thread also. I bike and do a bike trainer so I can add some miles, too.

Agreed. I'd consider that to go in a completely separate thread.

5 more this morning, 7:10/mile. I was supposed to be "yogging" as I'm in taper mode, but I couldn't help myself.

Tomorrow I'll do my last 5 before I go into hard taper and just swim. I have 50 miles to do this coming Saturday...
