+ 72 miles for Dec.
============
62,816

I don't think I've posted here in a year, but figured that I'd just tally up my mileage for December. Hopefully, I'll be more vigilant about keeping up with posting here.

FWIW: I just did 5 miles this morning but I'll add that in later this week or whenever I post here again. It was billed as a 'Hangover' run and put on by a local running club. Since my Neice re-newed my membership to that club as a Xmas gift, I figured I might as well get started using it!

Was going to run 10 miles today since we're getting a snow storm tomorrow but only 4.3 on the dreadmill.

+20 on New Year's Day because I'm more ambitious than smart. I was fine until Mile 16, when the fact that I didn't really have the recent training to do 20 at that pace caught up with me. That and the fact I only used 1 gel pack resulted in a bit of a bonk, but I recovered pretty quickly with a few beers at lunch!

Good luck in your race, Trauma!!

I ran 24.2 miles a few weekends ago while pacing my friend at her hundo and ate 3 fig newtons and drank powerade zero. It took a long time to get here but I'm pretty good at running on fat, which is a good thing since I have so much of that. You however are quite a bit leaner, eat your danged gels man! :whiste:

Well its a little under 48 hours before race time. Got a final update from the RD today on weather and trail conditions.

Weather: 30F(yay!) 10-20mph winds from the SW(booo) with 1-3 inches of snow in the afternoon when everyone is finishing up.

Trail conditions: 1 foot of packed snow on the trail. Trail otherwise groomed and free of debris.

I'm sitting at work just trying to pass the next 9 hours and trying not to get too nervous.

Medals for top 5 in age groups and all finishers of the 50K and 50 miler get a custom snowglobe.

Trust your training. You put in the miles, right? Then you've got this! :thumbsup: Just don't start too fast - classic newbie mistake, and one I've made more than once! Don't forget the race report when you're done!

+4 inside

Thanks Mursilis. I won't go out too fast. And I do trust my training, but at this point with a foot of snow and 20mph winds I'm gonna just run within myself and have fun!

I'm sure you will do fine. You've put the work in for sure.

On the bright side, be happy you will be done before the real snow gets here on Saturday night!

Believe me Dave I'm thankful the race is tomorrow and not Sunday.

Off to bed, will update you guys tomorrow night.

6 miles on the treadmill today. From the looks of things it is going to be lots of indoor running for the foreseeable future.

I had run 5 miles on N.Y. day and figured that I'd keep up with my usual 13-17 MPW. Unfortunately, life doesn't always work out like that. I went back to work on Jan 2nd after taking 2 weeks off (vacation). With the snowstorm that hit NY, my boss texted me on NYE and asked me to come in 4 hours early on Thursday. Well, the storm came later than expected, so I got held until 8PM Thursday. Knowing that there was more snow coming overnight, I ended up staying at work (sleeping in a chair) and starting again at 4AM on Friday. With everything happening with the storm, of course I didn't get out of there until 8PM Friday (40 hours in a row at work, 32 of those working). Needless to say, I was beat on Sat. But, I did 5 miles in slushy / icey conditions. And this morning I felt that I was getting sick (a little sore throat). So, I took today and will take tomorrow off. I hope to get back to usual on Tuesday (which is supposed to be 13 degrees again).

Bottom line: 10 miles since the last time I updated.
