Time for the annual, pre-race mileage review. All dates refer to pre-race weeks. | 2009 | 2010 | Total miles 12 weeks pre-marathon | 940.5 | 943 | Total miles 24 weeks | 1804 | 1849.5 | Total miles 36 weeks | 2378.5 | 2465.5 | 80-89 mile weeks 24 weeks | 5 | 5 | 90-99 mile weeks 24 weeks | 3 | 4 | 100+ mile weeks 24 weeks | 4 | 4 | 15-19 mile runs 12 weeks | 13 | 6 | 15-19 mile runs 24 weeks | 22 | 17 | 15-19 mile runs 36 weeks | 27 | 18 | 20+ mile runs 24 weeks | 13 | 14 | 26+ mile runs 36 weeks | 1 | 8 | Days missed 12 weeks | 2 | 7 |
I'll admit that I didn't really want to see the stats this year, because I was convinced my sub-par August (406 miles in 2009, 337 miles in 2010) would sink me. So I was very surprised to see my mileage totals are slightly higher across the board for 12, 24, and 36 weeks pre-race. This is even more surprising when I consider how many of my runs were trail runs this year, which take significantly more time versus road runs. In fact, I didn't have a single road run for a 5 week period! I spent many, many more hours running this year than ever before, and ran tens of thousands of feet more vertical than any other time. I ran more 15-19 mile runs in 2009, and many of those were Big Workouts. I didn't do many BW this year, which is a weakness. Instead, I did a lot of 10-14 mile trail runs. Most importantly, I had a lot more long, long runs (26+ miles)- 1 in 2009 versus 8 this year. That will come in useful this week. I also had a few injuries this year that resulted in more days off. Conclusions: More miles, long runs, and vertical run than ever before = good. Slightly more injuries plus no BW = bad. I am not in the best road marathoning shape of my life, like I was last year. But I am in the best trail ultrarunning shape. Next Saturday, I put it to the test. But no matter what happens, I am excited. Not nervous, just excited to have a fun time and enjoy a great day in the outdoors.

Woke up at 4:50 am EDT. Left for airport at 5:22 am, reached gate at 5:50 am- living near a small airport has definite benefits in terms of time savings. Saw my family for the first time in 5 weeks- very nice. No run, except running home from Cody's house. Spent tons of time packing enough stuff to occupy a small country. Good to go tomorrow. Results will be posted live for each aid station on the Bear100 website.

The Bear 100 race report is finally posted. After not seeing my family for 5 weeks pre-race, I spent my post-race days with them rather than on the report. And, since I have been building up to this race for 2 years, the race report is a touch long. Enjoy.
