Legs felt surprising good today after Saturday's long run. The trend seems to be that the first day back from a big one goes fine, the second is worse and the third worse yet before I start to feel better. I guess we'll see.

This week tapering just a bit in preparation for the Buffalo 50 coming up a week from Saturday. I don't want to underestimate the 50 even though I have no regrets not doing the 100 this year--just can't do the laps. (At least not this year.) I've made the mistake in the past of thinking "its just 50" and then getting hammered by the distance. 50 is still a dang long way, its finding the right, and quicker, pace at that distance in compared to the hundred. Hoping for a good day.

Little bit of speedwork tonight. Slow start, as predicted, but got things moving.

2 mile warm-up then 8 x 400 (6.24, 6.39, 5.57, 5.57, 5.57, 5.57, 5.49, 5.30 with .15 walk/jog in-between.)

My shoes smell awful.

5 quick miles--wanted to get at least 6 but ran out of time before family dinner.

1 mile warm-up, mile 2 @ 7:30, mi 3 @ 6:40, mile 4 @ 6:20, .5 @ 6:00, .5 mi cool-down.

Wash face, hair, throw on clothes...bang! right on time for dinner.

I got my butt kicked today. Ran in the foothills of PG (hiked rather). 1,800 ft elevation in first 2.5 miles and from there it was survival mode--ended up with 10. I'm hoping this was (is) my one piss-poor performance of the month. Extremely weak and slow. I red-lined it right out of the gate and that could have added to the poor performance. I need to eat better and put on a few lbs. Strong cool head-wind coming back. Nice day (weather-wise) and dry trails. Anxious to get up higher.
