2 weeks to go!



monday - best 5 mile hilly tempo run i've had in a long time! it feels good to bust it out!

tuesday -7 mile trail run loaded with fartleks

wednesday - quick 5 miles at 5pm (it was HOT!)

friday - 24 miles; last long training run before the 50k. it was humid at first and then it just got flat. out. hot. i used 5 power bar gels and water. didn't have any sports drink and didn't use any food. i was glad to be done as i totally chaffed in new places!   :/

i felt fine the entire time and feel great today. feel like i've finally acclimated to the heat and have been recovering fairly quickly! yippeee!!

Wow! It feels great to be able to finish a long run on a hot day! The 50K is so close!

Impressive 24 miler!! Sounds like you're physically & mentally ready for your 50K :)

Can't wait to hear all about it!

thanks you all!
i'm mentally ready (half the battle) but the more i look at the climbs over 31 miles, i'm wondering if my legs will hold up!
