As I was finishing up my 9 mile run this morning I was thinking "Damn, spaniel's running 50?!"

Short story DNF around 37 miles. Holy hell. Y you just can't fake your way through these without the training. Longer story later, but I went through 25 in about 2:51 feeling great but legs tightening up. After stopping for drop bag my leg muscles just locked and would not go faster than 8 pace after that. Knee started tracking weird and swelled up painfully. Finishing was not worth risking a real injury. I nailed the fueling and felt great. Just need to do some real training before redeeming myself here next year. Was a great learning experience snd a beautiful day to run.

Well done nonetheless. That was a fast 37.
