1/19 - Swampstomper 50k (actually, 32.6 miles) - 7 hours. If muddy then 8 hours. 1/26 - Mountain Mist 50k - who cares. Maybe 6:45. These are both technical and can be muddy, so slow.

SS50k - 4:48:01, PR
MM50k - 6:57:3x, just fine with that
Last 7 days: 100.1 miles, including these.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

WhoDat, congrats on the PR! You look amazingly similar to the 29 year old guy that beat me for 2nd place in a 5K race this morning.
Ken, congrats on the 5K time, nice!
I made a last minute decision this morning to enter the "Freeze Your Fanny 5K", a small local annual race put on by LCSC college cross country, since the weather was OK, as in no snow or ice on the ground.
Goal was <19:00. Finished 18:50, 3rd place over-all, first place Masters.

Good one whodat. I ran 18:18 for my 5,000 this morning. Pretty happy in that I'm way ahead of where I was last year at this time (ran 18:44 at this same race last yar). Onward!

That has got to be a great feeling, Ken. Great work.

How far apart were the races?

I'd imagine they were right there together on the same track. Not far apart at all.
Temporally, duh...
Sweet! Screw the 800m, leave that for the sprinters How far apart were the races?
The 800 started 1:15 after 1500.
Thanks. I definitely am more trained for the 1500, but always thought I could blast an 800 at will. Humbling.

Nice job Ken and Nader!
Trent, nobody can run that far two weekends in a row.
If I can keep it up this will be my first training cycle where I'm hitting workouts regularly every week. I'm hoping I can keep up with it.
Looking forward to some great Spring racing from everyone!

My boy says he can run that far two weekends in a row .... he can run that far two weekends in a row!
Nader - 5:01.5 is great! Congratulations. I'm agreeing with Spaniel on the 800 and below - leave that for the fast guys. I won't bother running shorter than 1mile or 1500 this Winter. I used to try to run 400 and 800 too but I just plain suck (even more than I do at the mile) down there.
Some really good racing in the hurtlocker this weekend.
Dude, there are two types of 1500 runners...1500/5000 guys and 1500/800 guys. And they are worlds apart outside of the 1500m.
I've run 4:33 for the mile but I can count on one hand the number of times I've been under 2:10 in the 800m and still have enough left over to pick my nose. Last time I ran it I ran a 16:17 5K 2 hours before....got 3rd behind 2 national-class runners....got my ass handed to me in the 800m by half a dozen jokers who didn't even look like runners.
Nice racing this weekend all!
