No luck at Wasatch!.....Signed up for the Bear....might need to find one more 100 this year.

Repeat Saturday run.  Malan's to the BST, head north as far as I can go, turn around and run back. Trail at the top of Malan's is improving though it's still western up there, hard to keep the rubber side down for the last 1/2 mile or so. North BST is pristine, no mud, very little snow, just lots of fun runn'en. Ran into Aric and Les at Rainbow, hope their lottery went better than mine.  Last long run before Red Hot in 2 weeks, really looking forward to that one, though I have no idea where my race fitness is as I haven't had my heart rate above 150 in over a month. Given that, I dont think I'll taper much, slightly easier the week before is about all. Be fun to see if I can shake off the lazy, slow legs. 

Heel and calf are a little tender after today's run, hope it's not an issue for much longer.  Miles and vert were about the same this week as the last 2 weeks, but the effot was just a bit higher, pushed it just a little here and there.  Also, I am starting to not use my heel lift  in my shoes as much so that's putting a little more strain on things, but gotta start to get off the training wheels sometime. 

Today: 19.75 miles, 4420 vert, one gel, one water bottle, not too much bonk. Ghost sighting, yes!

Week: 61 miles, 9300 vert.  Ghost sightings: 4

Hey sorry to hear about Wasatch... good luck at Moab though and nice impressive miles lately. You a tough cookie.

another solid week, and nice vert today! that is funny how exact our weeks looked from mileage and vert. Sorry to hear about wasatch...but bear is probably cooler anyway...just doesn't have the 'lottery' appeal

That's a lot od miles and vert on one get man. Another solid week and an impressive day. You and Aaron K both has impressive days/weeks. Nice. I got into Wasatch, so I better get my butt in gear.

What! No Wasatch.. what them b thinking. Their loss bro. Wheelers is perfect right now.. No real soft spots a little blown over on some parts of east fork, but great. Nice run today. Shane and I might be hittn North BST this week I'll let you know.

I didn't get into Wasatch either. I was thinking Bear, but it seems a little too close to Pony Express 100 for me. I think I'm going to do Teton Trails 100 on 9/3 instead. You ever thought about doing Leadville?

From Bryce on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 23:10:46 from 67.186.213.216

Thanks all, feeling the miles today.

Jun, thought about Leadville, and would love to run it, but it doesn't work for me this year. Good on Teton 100. I've looked at a few times, maybe I'll look harder.
