LM warmup (10 reps), 24 (8 road, 16 trail) hilly miles in 3:25:09, 8:32/mi, HR 149, & stretching.

Realized that a long run isn't in the cards for next weekend, so pushed this one from 18 to 24, with lots of elevation change.  2800' of climbing in total made this run brutal.  Much of the downhill was not very runnable....braking because of the pitch just trashed my legs so by the time I hit the final 4 road miles down a reasonable grade, I was toast.  I can honestly say that this run was harder and made me feel worse than the 50 miler did.  Which tells me the 50 mile trail race I want to run in late July that features 8700' of climbing is going to be very very very hard.  

Okay, time to stop feeling sorry for myself.  Just signed up for the White River 50.  Time to start logging the needed vertical mileage.
