Awesome man. And I got a chuckle out the "3 extra meals", although I know you'll need them after 50 miles!

13 miler this morning. Battling a bit of a sore throat, but the energy levels are good and I actually negative-split by a minute on the way back.

What speed do you average on your runs?

What speed do you average on your runs?

Well, today was 1:26:30 ish for the 13 miles, so that's 6:39-6:40 per mile (14.5km/h). Pretty standard for my aerobic runs.

My recovery runs are about 7:00 - 7:10/mile, (13.8-13.5 km/h) and my long runs are about 6:45 - 6:50/mile (14.3-14.1 km/h)

For tempo runs, marathon pace is 6:00-6:05/mile (16.1-15.9 km/h) and half-marathon pace is about 5:45/mile (16.8 km/h).

(Thank you Google for doing the calculations )

Lol, it's basically all you can force yourself to eat. The 3 extras are for my wife and the two offspring that won't be running the 50 miler with me.

6 + 5 + 6 since I last posted. It was snowing like a mofo when I drove home today so I couldn't wait to get out and run in that stuff. Unfortunately, by the time I got dressed and went outside, all the clouds had blown over and the blizzard had ceased to be. So I didn't feel nearly as hardcore as I thought I would... But it was still good to run outside in the snow and I did have one woman yell at me, "You're crazy dude!" I told her I hear that a lot...

2.3 mile warmup, then the final race in the Freezeroo series; a 10K race in about 38 minutes. My bloomers/pantaloons/stripey pirate pants got soaking wet and starting falling down around 2 miles in. Shortly before the 3 mile mark I said screw it, pulled off the road and took them off. Luckily I had compression shorts on underneath. I tried running with them tied around my neck for a while but they kept becoming untied so I threw them in a snowbank. Ran faster than I thought I would, which is promising. Ran about 5 miles as a cooldown and picked up me pants then. Won my age group for the series! Sadly, they did not recognize me as the fastest pirate. 13.5 miles total, rounding down to 13.

You definitely live life right Scorch. Good show matey!

My boy and I did about 10 miles on the roads where we live, the hills were awesome with the snow that's fallen and the snow that was falling.

Arrr...congrats on fastest pirate Scorch!

Did 6 miles this morning. Sore throat and some congestion is clearing up a bit but I still feel a little run down. I think I'll take a couple rest days just to be safe.

16,295+5=16,300

If you want to make the most of your running experience consider doing trail runs/races.

+5 on the roads tonight. I didn't want to run but sometimes you do what you have to do.

6 miles with the girl today. paced her for a tempo run. Felt kind of queasy from eating a garbage plate for lunch but the run helped. I had terrible gas though. Poor girl!!!
