+3 on Sunday afternoon. I wonder if I was running at a faster than normal pace because it felt much harder than usual.

+ 126 miles for me since I last posted. I've been busy as hell and actually took a day off last Saturday; it was my first day of no running since December 26th. Got in a nice 22-miler the next day though!

Nice work Scorch. My mileage has not been where it needs to be lately due to a new job and a hectic family schedule. I'm worried that I won't be ready for Sehgahunda at this rate.

I did 6 trail miles tonight in just under 50 minutes.

Thanks dude. I understand completely how life can get in the way of running. But honestly, in the grand scheme of things, family and your livelihood are way more important that training for a race, which if you think about it, is really a rather silly and pointless idea. But that doesn't stop me from training my ass off and it shouldn't stop you, either! Just remember to take in all the good stuff besides running, like being with your family and having a job! I have to actually stop and tell myself that every now and then because I get so focused on running. I think all dedicated runners tend to become completely obsessed and compulsive when it comes to their hobby/passion and its hard to step back and look at the big picture.

But I'm sure you'll do fine at Sehgahunda! Just run smart and don't try to fool yourself into thinking you're fitter than you are, adjust your goals if need be, and just freaking enjoy the fact that you're running!!

By the way, I did 12, 8 and 24 since I last posted. Today was my longest and most race-specific training day of my entire build-up for my race on the 14th. I wore the shoes I am racing in, ran entirely on trails, and took HammerGel, Sport Beans and Perpetuem with me. This is the longest training run I have ever done in my life. I got back to the car at 22 miles exactly, but said screw it! I feel good and I'm going on. Ended up doing 24.01 miles in 3:00:49. Muddy, sloppy, wet and hilly (there were some hills where I was going 13-minute pace up them and close to 6-flat down them) but I felt good the entire time! Now to taper and hopefully kick some ass!
