See blog for the run details. Here's the short version: it sucked, hurt, I jumped in a creek, got scared of lightning, and went home.

Please be a friend and lie to me and tell me that super low mileage last week won't ruin my plans for a week from Friday? My body is still angry about that Tahoe week (hey 7 summits and 19,000 vert and pacing from 7pm-5:30am... guess it's enough to destroy me.) I wanted a good week last week and didn't get it and still have lead legs.

I've got a week from Friday to pull it together. Lie to me, tell me I needed the rest. Please?

(my plans involve running up very big mountains for an ultra distance.)

So you got 28 miles for last week? If you had done today's 20-miler one day earlier, you would've had 48 miles and probably felt fine with it. So count it for last week mentally and forget about it, don't let it discourage you. Running is all about mental tricks AND listening to your body, right?

(I'm saying this partly to assuage my own guilt for not running this morning. I didn't sleep well and my heart rate was slightly elevated, sure signs that my body wants more rest after Saturday's 6+ hour run.) :-)

Relax, don't sweat the small stuff. 90% of running is mental and the other 100% is physical. Listen to your body and mind and do what is right. Get your recovery in and get it down the road!

Consistent good mileage totals over several weeks/months is much more important than any one week.

Thanks guys. I'm all trained up and should have 100 miler legs lingering from earlier in the season. Thanks for the reminder!

I will be a friend and tell you that you are totally fine. My training has been pathetic all summer because of nagging injuries. I was sooo worried going into speedgoat because my training just hasn't been there, but other than my knee hurting I felt great the whole day. I had energy and my legs felt strong and had plenty of steam. Don't worry, you have put in the work and have an excellent base. Taking it easy for a few days or a week actually might be good for you. You are going to be fine.
