Today I ran a new route.  I don't think I liked the route.  I doubt I'll be doing it again anytime soon (too dangerous, high traffic).  But, one thing I did like about the run today is there were some significant climbs.  I ran a little slower than I normally do, but it felt strong. 

I'm now questioning if I should have ran so hard today with my race tomorrow (Lybi talked me into doing a 5K tomorrow...  okay, it wasn't too hard to talk me into it).

I forgot to post this yesterday...

What are you going to do in 29.10 miles?

How did the 5K go???

Do you think your run on Friday helped or hindered your race.

I'm sure you did great. Can't wait to hear all about it.

Montelepsy,

I'm running 100 miles in 4 weeks to raise money for my cousin. Her husband of 5 years was in an aweful car accident and passed away, leaving his 23 year old wife and 13 month old daughter. To make things even more sad, he had just finished serving in the army for the past 4 years (in Iraq and Afganistan), and she finally felt like he was safe. It's just aweful. Anyhow, I feel so helpless here, so I thought I'd do this to help her and Karlie out. So far I've had a really good response from everyone. And I'm thinking I may be able to get my 100 miles in 3 weeks, or 3-1/2 weeks.
