It's JUNE already!!!

my kids found this baby on the trail!

i really cannot believe that we are almost half way done with 2012.  time flies too fast for me.

tuesday - 5 mile tempo run.

thursday - 8 miles - half trail

saturday - 21 miles on a moderate trail. my man came with our younger 3 and each one ran a 4.5 to 5.5 leg with me. it made it go by fast and of course having them run with me is fun! i have to keep up with them!!

deer at mile 15 :)

i wore my 70oz camelback the whole time. it weighs a ton at first but then i get used to it.  i'm not as sore on my trapezoids as was last week!). i had power bar gels at miles 4, 12 and 19 and chips ahoy cookies in between. have to try some of the foods that will be at the 50k. so far i know i can handle bananas and cookies. there will be quite a variety of foods available so i may try a few new ones next week.

cons:  i tripped on a root and fell down on my right knee. minor abrasion. it hurt. but tobymacs song Get Back Up got in my head and carried me through the last two miles. knee is fine today.

pros: i didn't see any snakes this time - woohoo! i did see a deer that was right in my path. :)


3 weeks til the trail 50k. one more long run next weekend then i'll taper some.
