#1:  6.5 miles on MCT. TT:  1:04:39. AP:  9:57

#2:  3.5 miles on home TM. TT:  35:00. AP:  10:00

#3:  18 miles at Corner Canyon (Rachel and I found the Three Falls trail....so pretty).  TT:  4:29:37. AP:  14:59.  Elevation:  3606.  It was very muddy today and my feet feel very sore.  My legs actually felt very good....just sore feet.  Glad it's over.

100 mile training is NO JOKE.  I feel like I am always running, in running clothes or preparing to run.  I'm looking very ghetto.

that's awesome, which 100 are you training for? alsp, a life spent in running clothes is a good life :) good luck with all the training and preparations...and the race, of course!

loving the triple run days. hi, MCT

Thanks Allie! Buffalo 100. I'm not sure if I will even finish. But the A-goal is to finish with a smile....even if it is in last place :)

We'll see how it all plays out.

Good luck Toby. PPPPPP! I’ve not done a 100 but if I can be on your support crew, count me in! Do you run with Smooth? I will be looking for your 100 race post. Oh by the way, when are you doing Boston?

From Toby on Sat, Jan 20, 2018 at 12:13:20 from 74.81.235.94

Tom: Thank you! This has been a whole new experience for me. The only goal is to finish! I have a great set of crew and pacers to help me.

I do run with Smooth! She’s so awesome!

I haven’t qualified for Boston yet. Sigh..... Maybe someday!

Make Boston a goal and strive to attain it every day.
