Today is the wife's birthday.  So I went and ran a race in Brown Co. State PArk.  Frosty  5miler:  WU on trails where race course was - very muddy and wet.  Raining during the race.  about 30 degrees and pretty miserable if you weren't running.  Fun times - ran with Danny Webb and Christian Wagner for part of it, and thy put the pedal down in the end and left me.  Lots of elevation gain for a 4.9 mile race --  656 feet.  Ran 36:41 and felt pretty strong for a fifth place finish.

Great race! That humidity can really ruin everything sometimes- but 1st is a good place to end up :)

Toe curls man, don't forget about those toe curls to strengthen the muscles the fascia surrounds. They work wonders.

AM - Easter Long Run: Grandview, Random CR (550, Tipton, etc.).  Great weather: threatened to rain and storm as I approached Grandview - dark ominous clouds over the hills and all around the lake.  Dierted to trail a little bit up Belleville climb, but, then back to road.  Storm clouds went away and it was sunny, humid and hot after that.  4 scoops of Tailwind drink mix with 1.5 liter hydr. pack was money again.  Think I need a bigger pack... Struggled today whenthat ran out with 4 miles left, but, was determined to reach 28.1 and get 120 for week (Mon.-Sun.).  Did some walking, but, I got there.  Stopped at house and chugged some water nutrition and went back out to finish.  28.1 mi. - 4:22.  Walked with kids at Outlet Mall.

Indy 500 Half in downtown Indy this morning.  Got there a little late and got in a little over a mile with some strides just in time to stand around and get ready to fight the crowd.  The crowd was an issue for the first half mile and then spread out.  Great weather anf course conditions - prime for a PR for most, with their PR fitness.  Training for ultra is not what gets me PRs in halves and shorter stuff apparently.  Starting to come to terms with that fact.  Backed down the pace after about 5k and settled in to something more in the MP range.  As a test, I put he pedal back down after some miles of MP.  railed off about 3 miles and cooled it back off for a less than spectacular 1:22:20.

3 weeks out from Kettle M 100, 50 Miles was going to be too much.  Decided at the drop down point around 25 miles to drop down to 50k.  Probably a good choice.  The trails were pretty muddy and a lot of down trees still.  Missed a turn and added on about 1 mile again.  OVerall a fun time with all the Quaff people out running relays and other various distances.  31.2 miles at 50 mile pace/effort was a great final big long run.

The family came along for the trip to Whitewater Wisconisin for the Kettle Moraine Ultra and my 3rd attempt at 100 mile distance.  Attempt number 1 resulted in a DQ/DNF when I turned early on an out and back section and went off course at mile 60.  Attempt #2 was a DNS of Rocky Racoon 100 due to illness the week of the race, and not even making the trip to TX.

This attempt started with a rather taxing trip up I-65 from Indiana through (around) Chicago on Friday afternoon prior to the race on Saturday.  It took about 7 hours with all the stops and traffic, but, we made to the hotel by about 2pm Central. 

Checked in to hotel got settled and then headed over to packet pickup.  Solid race with great organization, directions, and friendly attentive volunteers.  We njoyed the local eatery, and some relaxed pool time back at hotel and laid down around 9pm.  Kids took a little longer to settle down... ;(

Race start at 6 am was alot easier than anticipated with the kids not used to waking up that early.  We made it over while the sun came up and I dropped my gear and said my goodbyes as the wife and kids went to start their day elsewhere.  The gun went off and I found myself what seemed to be near the lead 100mile group.  100k started at same time, so, hard to tell really.  We settled in to some leap frogging at a relaxed pace in some cooler temperatures throughout the morning.  Chating with the guys as they came and went, I felt like I had settled in to a realistic 9-9:30 pace on sections with little climbing or technical features.  As the morning wore on and we emerged in to an exposed more open section of the trail, we watched as a storm began to build and mount somewhere off to the West.  It rolled in quickly and brought some good rainfall over a period of about 2 hours. 

The first section being an out-and back 63 miles (100k ?), meant that we would have about 500 people following us over the same terrain and beating up the once dirt/grass trail for the re journey.  As we turned around at about 30 miles / (GPSed) 5hours, the rain died down and we quickly discovered the muddy slop that had the trail had become.  15 miles of the next 20 were unrunnable sloppy mud hole.  By the time I had come back to the open exposed area (~ 8 miles worth), my legs were not responding, and the sun had come out.  Now, I was staring down sloppy mud with the sun glaring down, humidity and heat up in the upper 80's - Yeah  Not good.  I walked most the last 8 miles in to a manned aid station and called it quits at the 54.X mile point.  Got to bed at reasonable time at least, and made the drive home the following morning. 

10 miles - 1:30

20 miles - 3:03 (1:32)

30 miles - 5:03 (2hrs)

40 miles - 7:14 (2:11)

50 miles - 9:40 (2:36) -- and... done when I limped in to 54.25 mile "Bluff Aid Station". 

Definitely on the negative side of the fence about ever trying another organized 100 mile attempt at this point.

Ran from house downtown to Series 5k race - 8 miles WU prior to race.  Humidity lower, but, still pretty high.  Race was interesting - a couple younger kids went out quick and were coming back after the halfmile - 1mile.  Knew the leader was a local highschool kid and was legit (about 1minute up)  Passed the last 15 yr old about 0.25 from finish line, so he held on pretty well.

Was working really hard for 6-6:05 pace, which is pretty discouraging.  Going to keep at it, but, not expecting much in 5k/10k's in the near future.  5k - 18:59

7:30 am race, met Nathan and his awesome run group at Triangle Park.  Those awesome guys gave me a shirt and picked my packet!  "Good Times" indeed!  Great to run with them and chat with them.

Race itself was humid and an absolute struggle to hang on to ~6min. pace.  Really not in any kind of shape for 5k's and 10k's honestly.  stuck with it and forced a couple of sub-6 miles on aided sections.  37:44 for 21st place was good for today, given current fitness.

AM series race in Freetown, IN (aka - BF).  Arrived to lone gas station in town to discover no ATM or bathroom.  luckily, Danny paid for the race entry .

Warmed up jogging and some strides.  Tractors literally backed out into the road and nearly ran over all of us close to the start line after the race started.  Pretty sure the A-holes intentionally did this...

Anyway, the race was okay.  Humidity off the charts, and probably carrying a couple pounds of the poor diet over the last week around with me.  5:50, 6:00, and a horrible 6:20 split on a slightly uphill last mile.  3rd place finish in 18:34.

Weather was great - 59 degrees to start, and about 75 at the end, though I got pretty sunbunred.  Stayed on top of water and nutrition pretty well carrying my 2 handhelds and refilling.  Initial mix was 3 scoops of Tailwind in each with te 12 ounces.  After that, as it got more watered down, hydration did start lagging, but, I never got too low. 

The left foot is a problem, now.  It really started hurting after about 50k.  All road for these long runs will probbly have to change.  Good run, and solid effort at the end.  PR for training LR distance.

Race went okay: 5:50, 5:55, 6:03.  Definietly an LT effort.  Really working hard for 6:03.  It s amazing the difference in training specificity and the associated results.  I have run this course around 17:30 two times prior to making the rpimary focus ultra training and long runs. 

Followed up race with a good deal of break time chatting with some folks.  Caught up with seom Columbus Run CLub guys after seeing them pass by the finish line.  A couple miles with those guys, and then some mile repeats on the track around Central Middle.  Some football kid yelled at me to put on a shirt, so I decided to go over and run laps around their practice (silently).  Only got 2 reps in, but it was good to put in as many faster miles. 

17 miles total more after race.

Drove out to Grand View for a try at trail loop.  No go - about 0.8 in to the loop, realize that it is unrunnable with down trees, losing the path, and endless spider webs crossing the path. 

Hop down on to the road.  Much more enjoyable.  Ogling all the awesome houses, and watching the boats and waterskis , and seeing other folks out walk, jog, bike around the loop.  about 10miles - about 8:20 pace

This was a warm one here in Colubus, IN.  Humid and warm, and results across the board reflecteed that.  Two personal friends who are usually in the 2:30-2:40 range stuck it out for 3rd and 4th place overall in 2:50 each.  My race was similar.  Started out with an aerobic pace in the morning hours while it was still below 70 deg.  by 9 am it was climbing through mid 70s and finished up at almost 80 deg.

Half split - 1:29:33.  20 mile time - 2:21... I looked down at several 9 min. miles in the final 5k.  3:16:33, for what I think was about 10th place overall.  I did not win the Cummins Ram truck in the truck giveaway.  For the first year, the announcing people actuall read 3 people's names that were not present!  They just had to show up to the announcement, and they would have won a $50k truck!

5k Race in Seymour.  Quick WU - 1mi. +a couple pickups.  Paid the price in the race for lack of WU and recent poor training.  Unrecognized effort levels and uneven splits - Typical result for an undisciplined, undertrtained runner (That's me)  I ate way to close to the race and went out at an unrealistic pace for current specific fitness level. 

Splits:  5:39, 5:51, 6:13, and a similar similar pace on partial.  PAthetic - 18:41 for 3rd place and getting passed by a guy I should beat in the last hald mile.  

On a side note, I am not going to the 100 mile race.  I am scraping the idea and running 100miles altogether.

From Glory in the long run on Mon, Oct 09, 2017 at 12:39:54 from 67.2.79.156

I understand about holding yourself to a high standard, but one thing I've learned from running is that we have to enjoy where we are. Was it a good result given your lack of training, bad eating, under-disciplined state? It can be motivation, but beating oneself up isn't always good motivation--at least for me. Just my $.02

From FREYGUY on Tue, Oct 17, 2017 at 08:17:52 from 74.134.40.51

You and I have logged a few miles together over the years. I've noticed that we both kind of 'peaked' around 2014. For me, I've had to realize that there has to be a good life balance. God has blessed both of us with two beautiful children and understanding wives which also demand some of our time. Try to fall back in love with running again... even if your not setting a PR every race :)

btw: I still hope to run a sub 3 marathon. I'm just not sure when. It's kind of hard to get there for me while only logging 40 to 50 miles a week.

Trail running with a group in Brown County.  All trails and getting dropped by these much faster guys.  They are all another level.  Good trails to run on, but, I am thinking that I am over trails and running long all together.  Deciding today to refocus efforts on short stuff and scrap the Ultra thing altogether. 13 mi. - about 2 hours.

Series 5 k Race as part of local festival.  Strong tailwind out and strong headwind on the back part.  Man, I am in some pretty bad shape.  I am not even a shadow of my former self, preceding all the ultra training the past couple years. 

5:53, 6:03, 6:24 and under 6min. pace for partial

Switching back to non-ultra.  I am finding it more enjoyable and manageable to consistently run 60-90 minutes per day, and run faster at shorter stuff.  Current goal is to take some down time and rekindle the fire to get back in to some harder training.

4 miles on the TM in AM.  walk/jog to recover.  More of a WU for the squats and 1-leg dead lifts.  That left my back a bit sore.

Last series race of the year. Had to show up to get 3rd for the year.  Still pretty not fit.  Cold, windy and spitting snow flurries during the race.  Out and back on Ppl Tr. on SR 46 in Columbus.  Lead until about 1/2 mi. left and Dwayne crushed my spirit as he comfortably cruised on by.  Splits: 5:53, 6:05, 6:12, and slower for partial.  Surprised to not see a little improvement at least... still got a long way to go for spring.
