Jen, how did the 50K go?
Here's a link to the race report:

It went well, and my time was slightly better than I anticipated, but I could have done considerably better if it weren't for some evil stomach cramps and a little bit of getting lost.
I am thinking of doing one of the days of the stage race, either Saturday or Sunday. I was going to do 2 days originally, but after travelling a lot for work, I think my beagles miss me. I'm not going to decide today; the choice between shorter and flatter versus longer and hillier is not a choice I should be making with my muscles still aching from Sunday.
50K! That's a long way on trails.

Good race jendelush. I bet having the watermelons felt great in such a hard run .50K! That's a long way on trails.
Yep, good race.
50K - that's a long way on any surface. Now you ultra fiends have me contemplating a 50K... down the road.

Thanks! Yes, the watermelon was perfect in the hot weather...it's my new running snack!
I'm doing a lot of trail running this summer. Much cooler under the trees and usually there's a creek or lake somewhere along the way to cool off. I have several trail marathons and ultras that I'm looking at for the fall
Week 25 June 15 - June 21 Where is the bunny? ~619 miles Where am I? 443 miles Mileage last week: 39.3 miles Goal mileage this week: ~33 miles
Looking forward to a "recovery" week of sorts. Lower mileage anyway. I've still got a long haul but I'm gaining on the bunny.
Have a good week all.
Modified to correct week #.
Week 24 June 15 - June 21 Where is the bunny? ~619 miles Where am I? 844.1 miles Mileage last week: 40.5 miles Goal mileage this week: ~40 miles
I'm running a 5K this weekend, my first this year. I've never run a 5K (or a 10K for that matter) on this much mileage so I can't wait to see how much my time has improved! Unless all this trail running has ruined me for speed.
Cassie, did you do the stage race?
Around midday this past Thursday was a significant milestone for this group. A little bit before noon, we hit 26.2 weeks. If you're not there, yet, I hope everybody at least finds their way to 686.44 miles (a marathon squared).

Speed my steps along your path, according to your will.
Having just passed the 2000KM Bunny yesterday ... Now the 1367 Bunny (although he does not exist yet) is in my site. Based on estimated MPW/plan , should pass the bunny first week of September.
slowly creeping up on Bunny but vacation last week slowed the pursuit.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it Great!
Happy running all.
