19 days
I ran up to the top of Cherry Tree again today and straight back down for a total of 12 miles and about 1200 feet elevation gain. I had a little pep in my step today which surprised me coming off my 35 miler with 8000 feet elevation gain a few days ago, so climbed those 6 miles and 1200 feet under 9 minute pace today. Then I headed down getting faster and faster with each mile. The last one being 6:36. It felt good to let my legs fly this morning as most of my running has been at a slow pace in preparation for the 50 miler. Hopefully I didn't set myself up for injury going too fast though. I'll have to be very careful with my pacing the next few days and keep it nice and slow.
