I really wanted to participate in this year's Mountain Masochist 50 miler to be held this Saturday 11/2. This would have been my 2nd run at the MMTR where I ran my 2nd 50 miler in 2003. But, instead, I listened to my body and noticed signs of overtraining and decided it wouldn't be the best idea and sat this one out. Instead, I decided I'll run 50 miles this week, a number I haven't hit since June when I ran the San Juan Solstice 50 miler (it's easy to hit a 50 mile week when you race 50 miles).
10/29/13 - Ran the 6 mile loop in 43 and did a 1.5 mile cooldown.
10/30/13 - Ran up the Gauntlet and down Trough for 6.4 miles. Made it up the Guantlet in 31:45.
10/1/13 - Since I have a big run planned for tomorrow I decided to not do track work and instead just get in some moderate miles. Ran 9.25 miles around Raleigh Court and the Greenway.
10/2/13 - Ran from 220-311 on the AT hitting the peak at McAfees. This was the first time in a long long time I went up to the peak on this run. Normally I just skirt around the peak staying on the fire road for the last 4.5 miles. This was a tough day and Jason Captain and I finished it up in 3hours and 37 minutes.
10/3/13 - Ran 7.4 miles around Grandin Court and Fishburn Park.
Total for the week; 50.05 miles.
Next week I plan to spend a little time on the bike instead of on my feet.
