Note to self!

Go to bed! This week has been long and it's only Thursday. TGTF! My training has taken a hit. Monday I put in 9 miles, Tuesday I missed my bike and Wednesday I missed my intervals and pushed them over to today. I was home early and Spring has certainly sprung with a toasty 82f awaiting me as I started my interval session! Toasty my foot; 82f is damn hot! I could certainly feel my pace just bleed away as evident in the mile splits.

As you can see; the first 1 mile cut was the deepest!


This week is my last week at work (I actually finish next Tuesday) and I have been slammed wrapping up my project and a bajillion other issues! Add to the mix a teething child who is refusing to sleep through the night and I am as they say; banjaxxed!

I signed up for my second 50k for this month and that's this Sunday; no pressure, it is in effect a long supported run, I am targeting a 6:30 or thereabouts finish. And then we have three weeks to LD50!

  10. You have the right attitude using the 50k as supported training run. These are the best training runs..if you try not to get too caught up in the race..LD 50 has a course change as I heard? Is this going to be your q time for WS lottery?
