- My friend turned 70 a week ago. He is glad to report he had signed up for another year of running. His advice is to enjoy every day.
- Another friend is next in line for the Hardrock 100 on the wait list. It seems like many at that age he to is a bit compromised. I hope he rallies. He runs so well and besides it gives me a good reason to waste 10-15 hours staring at a screen.
- My 100 training has been sparse. The 50 in mid November left some deep soreness in my tendons. I have primarily been walking. The good news is I completed 40 on Friday and though not ideal it was a confidence builder.
- Crawford is coming down to assist and provide pacing for the run. This will be a big help.
- I am thinking of hitting 32 this Friday. I'll try a 50/50 mix of jog/walk. That will be 3 weeks and 1 day from the race. I think 27 hours is possible on event day.
- I am still at 180 pounds. I'd like to get to at least 173.
- The Ice Age 50 mile has Dave Dehart as an entrant. I hit 11:02 last year. Maybe sub 11 is doable.
- All this is getting slower. Going slower does not bother me as long as I can get back to 80% of the miles done by jogging. Long walking workouts eat up way too much time.
