Finished marathon run #108 today while pacing the 4:45 group at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Marathon. Official finish time was 4:44:43 so we finished right where we wanted to. It was great seeing friends and making new ones during the race.
I DNF'd Pinhoti 100 yet again (about mile 34). Around mile 25, I started having some pain start back up that I had experienced a few days after running Rebecca Mountain last month, which brought me down to just walking. I knew I could have kept going as I still had an hour before the cut off time, but knew I wouldn't make it the entire way with just walking so I dropped out early before it got worse.
I wanted to get 30 miles in today since Pinhoti 100 is just 2 weeks away! Split the 30 mile run into 3 sections since I'm pacing the training program. The first section was running to RW before the marathon training program started. Section 2 was the 15 mile training run. For the last 2 miles, I wanted get a few miles of speed walking in. This walking pace would get you to a sub 24 finish for a 100 miler. Two more weeks until Pinhoti 100.
Finished the Rebecca Mountain 50 miler at 12:08. It was great run, especially with seeing everyone and waiting for others at the finish! Great mountain views and good times with trail running friends.
I finished my 11th 100-miler this morning and ended up winning the Wildcat 100 mile race. The heat/humidity got brutal on Saturday so I waited to get back running when the sun went down. Time to rest up. M#104
Had a good run for Caleb's birthday run. They're faster than me so I started a little earlier. Things started getting hot once I was got to the last 4-5 miles. I forgot to restart my watch and missed a mile.
