Occasional Runner
As with the previous years, I set out to run 50k at Labor Pains and call it a day so I could drink beer and enjoy the race from the perspective a spectator. And as with previous years, I had a blast.

It was great to see so many people from the forum and it sounds like they all had a great time too.
Thanks for checking it out.

So sensible of you!
I am also amazed you just bounce back after a 100 -- my feet are still peeling so I am trying to get myself to take a break
Nice to run into you there Kelly! Sounds like you and your wife had a great time, congrats on another well run race!

No pictures of any of the rocks! People will start to think our PA trails are too easy.
Hey, no mention in your RR about getting a free beer before the race.
“Paralysis-to-50k” training plan is underway!

That 100 miler was like....2 weeks ago. Ancient history! I barely remember it!
Seriously though...recovery is all about conditioning. I run 80-90 miles a week and my body has adapted. I really don't think that's ideal and I would be a much better runner if I managed my workload in a more responsible manner, but I just enjoy running. And it's important to say that I could still feel Leadville in my legs for the first 20 miles. After that, they loosened up.
That looks and sounds like a fun event! Thanks for sharing the RR & pictures.
Nice RR. I definitely want to do this next year. Should be a nice event right before my wedding!

Congratulations to both you and Jo, sounds like each of you had a fun 50k race.
Run for fun.

I think I get it now. After my 50-milers my legs were trashed and my feet were fine, this time it is the opposite. Running has felt great, so absent feet issues I could be running long.
This run in Stinson Beach Sunday was great (despite GPS disappearing somewhere on Steep Ravine):
