1hr 48:30. Felt kind of pathetic like it hurt a bit to run on the technical sections of the trails. 231 miles on shoes. hmm, contemplating not hitting 70 this week and taking two days before the race easy so i don't completely suck. excuse of not recovered yet after ultra. why does it take so long to recover? it seems lame.

If you want to run 70 miles/week on really hilly trails, its like running 90mpw on flat roads or 80 on relatively flat trails. For example, I ran less than an hour yesterday, but got 8.65 miles in. It was too fast, but 1:10 would have been easy. This was at the only flat course in nashville that I know of. It was at a park with a bike trail going right next to the cumberland river. Also since you missed sunday it is kind of silly to try for 70 this week. I did the same thing and I am doing exactly what you are. I want to make up for that lost day, but I know thats not how it works. That day did give you a bit more rest, but not enough to do double on another day or even probably to spread out the extra mileage over then other 6 days. I will probably hit 70 because I am obsessed with the numbers. But I will run more on roads so that it takes less time which is bad. But hopefully it will satisfy my ego.

Oh, my bad, you didn't miss sunday. I really have some catching up to do, lol.
