Well minutes after the Conquer the Cove races ended I started to loose my voice and get some deep chest congestion. So it looks like the stress of the RNUTS took a toll and now it's time to pay up. Two weeks to the Highland Sky 40.
6/3/14 - Did the 6 mile loop with a .5 mile cooldown.
6/4/14 - Ran at the cove doing the Hi Dee Ho - Buck loop for 6 miles.
6/6/14 - Ran 9 miles on the greenway and around Grandin Court.
6/7/14 - Ran at Greenfield park in Daleville on the grassy paths, following the Bear Bait 5k.
6/8/14 - Ran 12.8 at Black Horse Gap. This was probably a bit more than I needed a week out from the big race but I was feeling like I needed a challenging run and wanted to work in some new shoes and needed another opportunity to get rid of some leftover chest congestion. We ran a lollipop loop of the AT to Spec. Mines, down to the gravel road, a right to Hammond Hollow, and then a right on the AT back to Black Horse Gap. I love running in this area. It was a tough humid sweaty loop but a good time.
Now to rest up before the HS40
Total for the week; Ran 41.05 miles

Training Week 5/26/14
I always have trouble training the week of a Mountain Junkies race so I don't expect much. This would be the week of a long run in preparation for the Highland Sky 40 miler but since we have the Cove marathon on Sunday I don't expect a whole lot of training.
5/27/14 - Ran the 6 mile loop and 1.5 mile cool down at HR 142.
5/28/14 - Ran 6.4 at the cove. HR did better.
5/30/14 - Starting to feel signs of being run down. Biked the CtC course to clean it up and mark it.
Training for the week; 13.9 miles running and 26.45 mile mtn biking.

Legs are feeling OK after the SMT 2.0. There is a lack of power on hills and my heart rate is a bit erratic.
