Good luck with your healing and I have a rockstar pt/coach if you want a recommendation you don’t need to visit.
That sounds terrible. Have you done any pt?
That’s such strong work! And you negative split the second half! You’re rocking and rolling! 🥳
I’m so glad it went well!! Snack variety is a quality of life investment that always pays off. When is your race?
Good luck with the move!! Boo to bothersome bladders. Loading your worldly possessions definitely counts as strength and stability work!
Welcome back! Hope the miles are going well.
Stats on the half (20k?)
Stats for the 50 mile attempt
Run went well! Carried my poles until around mile 6 where I used them for the first appreciable climbs and then for the rest of the race. Poles were such a help this year. Running through a cow pasture and over fence stiles was a fun way to end a great weekend of running. #runchat #running
Trilogy Day 3 recap - woke up feeling stiff, did a bunch of ankle mobility, ate breakfast and checked the weather - 50 degrees and misting rain for the race. Anyone else feel like that is the perfect running weather? No stream crossings so I wore my road shoes instead of my trail runners.
Fortunately the people at the aid station were mostly supportive and one even gave me a great beer. #runchat #runsky #running
So I hiked and hopped down the stream and over the rocks, ran the few runnable sections. And got to the aid station to tap out. I had a dumb veso vegal episode several miles prior and wasn’t feeling like it would be safe and responsible to continue running to the finish 🫤 adulting is overrated.
Trilogy Day 2 recap - 50 mile attempt, 34 miles bc reality - perfect day with a great run. My big goal was to really conserve energy so I could run along a really nice stream where my feet were in too much pain to run last year. Discovered that trail is a mess of leaf covered loose rocks. 🤣
Trilogy day 1 is done! 50k went well, it was dry, cold, and I was able to manage effort well all day.
Trilogy time! Packed and ready. So many snacks… #runchat
I find that after 13.1 surprising feelings happen. Might get high or low. If I’m low I try to focus on the next 1 mile or even a third mile if that’s what I need. Have options for snacks and drinks, use your car as an aid station and have ice water in it. What route ideas do you have?
This looks like a great idea!
7 mile trail run yesterday and an easy 4 miles around town today. Workout didn’t include weights for the first time in forever. Anyone else feel like trash when you’re tapering? #runchat #running #runsky
Taper week 2…. Cannot wait till Friday.
Have you put diaper cream on the chafing?
You need wings in your life. Although steak and eggs sounds great, it may be missing grits however. PT and mobility will make tomorrow better. I shall join in that effort.
Congratulations!! They can make faces as long as they don’t interfere with progress.
