#61 was last night on treadmill.  Intervals, 6 miles total, 3 at 5k pace.  

 

I'm 3 miles short of 300 since I started streaking.  I'll cover them with tonight's 4 mile easy-paced run.

navbtcret - 2013-01-25 8:54 AM Day 429 with 2 easy treadmill miles. Now off to Lockport, NY and the 50 mile utlra tomorrow, it'll be my longest mileage for one run to date. Hopefully the snow is not too deep there, shooting for under 8 hours if it is not too deep.

Day 430 was yesterday with the 50 miler which I finished in 8 hours and 59 minutes and some odd seconds. Not sure of the official results yet but I am pretty sure I was in the top 10 finishers and maybe the top 5. I know for sure I won my age group of 50-59 year old men. Not bad for a 50 year old man huh. I do not feel to bad over all, I little muscle fatigue but not near as bad as I thought I would be. It was cold yesterday high in the low 20's and in the teens most of the day and early evening. The race started at 10 am. There was also more snow on the ground than I wanted but what can you do. I run all winter long outside here but usually on the shoulders of the road that are cleared of snow so I underestimated how difficult it was to run in 4-6" of snow for 50 miles. I usually only go for 4-8 miles in the deeper snow getting to the road I am going to run on. Still I am very p[leased with my results considering I was really stupid and went out way to fast, ran the first 20 miles at an 8:50 pace. It was not really a sufferfest to finish though I just had to slow my pace and keep pushing on. Now to get back to some marathon training for a while.

 

Today was day 431 with 2 easy recovery miles.
