It was a nice cool 44 F when we headed out for a great 5 mile trail run.

SRD today, while the blisters heal.
Ran the Dirty German 50 miler yesterday, finishing in 12:06:15 knocking almost 40 minutes off of my PR! Came in DFL.
I can now officially be called a Marathon Maniac, having completed 3 in < 90 days. (even though I was DFL in two of them!)
Ran 1 miles or so with muppy (aka soggy britches), good chatting there until it was time for me to walk up a hill. Missed wc (though may have run past him w/o recognition) and TnC, who now owes me a beer!

I brought a six pack! And only drank 1 of them Next race, I got you!
Congrats on the PR! It was a beautiful day for a race but I was very glad to be done after the 25k

Don't forget the bottle opener!
2024 Races:
03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles
05/11 - D3 50K 05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour
06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.
6.7 on road/rail trail/real trail - 43 degrees in CT, beautiful morning. Saw a couple of turkeys (including a male, which I don't see very often - tried to stop for a photo but he just gobbled at me and ran off) and a fox (which may explain the turkey's bad mood).
Got in 31 miles yesterday at the Dirty German, doing a 4 mile power walk today for recovery (I'm mowing the 14,000 sq foot putting green at my work at 3.5 mph)
Congrats Jbyram on the PR!
Ran a new 7 mile local trail race here in North East Pa on Sunday morning. Race Report: http://www.briankunkle.com/2014/05/chief-wetonah-challenge-2014-race-report.html
Probably some miles on the indoor bike and an easy trail run this afternoon.

The 25k yesterday was the longest I'd run since Stone Mill last fall, so my legs are feeling it today! I might go for a run at lunch (more of a shuffle or jog really) to get the muscles moving and enjoy this gorgeous spring weather. I'm going to post a RR after we get the race photos, I was surprised to see a couple photographers out there this year.

SRD for me on my extended taper.
Conrats to all the Dirty German's out there. Must have been a beautiful day for the race.
QOTD: Do you have a go-to "mud shoe" or do you just wear your normal shoes and clean them off later?
“Paralysis-to-50k” training plan is underway!
QOTD: I use the same shoes, and never ever clean them, except for clopping the mud off before I bring them inside.
5 to 7 after work. My calf is a little wanky right now, but I think it will be okay.
QOTD: I usually run in NB 110's in the mud. They do pretty well, but mud can be a funny thing. I ran in the Rocky's a couple of years ago in a pair of Adidas XT's. The shoe has really aggressive lugs for mud, but that Utah mountain mud can really get sticky. I was slipping and sliding all over the trail at one point. Being from Louisiana, I run in mud quite a bit, and I was surprised at how bad it was.

Faster Than Your Couch!
Run for fun.
SRD -- Weekend was great with a good Couch-advised run (I think) on Saturday, school auction and dancing Saturday night, a frisky post-hangover coast loop on the bike, finished off by a short jog around the neighborhood trail loop with my 10-year old.
QOTD: Race or training run? For a shortish mud run, nothing beats the old La Sportiva X-Country in my opinion. but I have put spike sin them for winter use. I normally lace-up Vertical Ks or Helios now for those runs. Vertical Ks were perfect for the North Face 50k mud fest in Marin in 2012.
Hey, stay strong Couch! ES 100 can still be done

Had a nice 5.6 this morning. Didn't run yerterday so didn't post. I can't see Sandy's or for that matter anyone's pictures when they share. Must be some type of block at work; yet I can see the avators (your post picture).
QOTD: Same shoes different day. If they are muddy I leave them outside to dry and when I run again the dirt just falls off.

running under the BigSky
headed out to the hills now for a 5 miler
qotd: I have multiple pairs of the same shoe (PI N2's)- the very oldest pair is for chores, the next oldest has sheet metal screws for winter, the next is for muddy conditions and the newest for fair weather/races (and I just ordered a new pair because they have a new color! )
