LM warmup (10 reps), 22.05 mostly trail miles in 3:30:10, 9:31/mi, HR 149, 3600' elevation gain, & stretching.

Started with cloudy and cool but quickly became sunny and hot (67F).  Shady parts weren't too bad but the sun got pretty brutal, and the humidity was up.  Tackled a bunch of trails and fire-roads in the UW Pack Forest and tried to get as much vertical as possible.  Kinda disappointing to see it was only about 3600'.  Fortunately, I found a place to get water about halfway through, having tried to ration both bottles but really needing to rehydrate.  Got pretty hungry during the run....GUs just aren't doing it for me and I just really don't like the taste all that much.  I was dreaming of pretzels and boiled potatoes....maybe I should just look for a nice running sack to carry some along. 

So last long run before WR50.  At this point, I just want to finish under the 13 hours cutoff.

Try cliff shots. I love them. Although most people I talk to don't as much. Oh, and you will kill the 13 hour mark. You could crawl that fast...

Yes, but I secretly want to finish under 8:30. Which means I could very well blow-up and find myself crawling the 2nd half of the race to finish in 13 hours.
