30 runs in 30 days - who's with us? (Page 145)

I wrapped up my racing season yesterday with the First Day Of Winter 50k in Portsmouth, Ohio. I did well considering my weekly mileage for the past couple of months has only been in the mid 30's at best with only one week in the 40 mpw range. I finished in 4:53 which was good enough for 9th place overall out of I think 54 finishers and 1st in my age group.

I think I may get back to streaking after the first of the year. I feel pretty good today after the run, only good pain no injury type pain.

Merry Christmas everyone and keep up the great work.

Happy new year.

Nice to see the group has grown a bit, and congrats on everyone's 2014 accomplishments. I had a good year, and am hoping this one goes well.

#799- 6.2 mi
#800- 4 mi
#801- 2 quick miles on the treadmill

#802- 10 mi all trail, 1500 ft elevation gain according to Garmin. I always feel that I run farther than the Garmin reads when I run trails, especially if the trail is windy, and intuitively I feel that the GPS cant keep track of all of my zigs and zags from space.

Another 2 weeks or so and I will find out if I get into Leadville, and I got my fingers crossed since for some reason, I really want to run this race. I had planned to take the weeks easy since my last race up to the new year then start training for whatever 100 I get myself into. I can't believe the new year is here, that went fast. I felt like I had to start the year off on the right foot (no pun intended) and get a solid training run in.

The ground was frozen today, which is good and bad. I don't have to deal with the mucky spots, but the ruts in the trail under a nice bed of leaves create "ankle snappers." I am pretty familiar with the trails though, so I get by ok, I really just need to keep my wits about me. I also am still doing a bit of trailblazing to work in some more challenges and had to deal with some pretty harsh razor-like underbrush. I still had a blast though. I feel like a kid tromping through the woods.
