Total Distance
26.20

AM - 26.2 Green Valley.  Set out to run 25-30 this morning and it ended up landing right at a marathon.  Ran out through Green Valley and up the trail we used to run for Club Runs out of the old store and over the top of tortoise road, back into Washington and out to the Parkway and home through the desert - ended by taking Molly around.  Had a tough point at around 18 or so that I really just wanted to be done, seems that is always a difficult point in runs.  (Landreth orange 250.35)

Week was okay, but ended pretty tired.  Ready to get this stupid race done with.

Goals for the week:  taper a little.  Survive!

Landreth Orange Miles: 26.20

Are you doing the Squaw Peak 50 miler?

From dave holt on Sat, May 30, 2009 at 13:40:52 from 75.169.93.190

Yes.

Today I am answering, unfortunately... yes.

Get a good taper this week. You'll have tons of fun, Dave.

By the way, we're tooting your horn for you...

I put your name in the hat, but someone had beat me already. Wonder who it was?

How am I supposed to live up to the hype? Now how do I explain a 12 hour time? I guess as long as I go 6:30 first 25 and 5:30 second 25 I will do as "anonymous" said and smoke people in the second half!

Well I offered this to Clyde and I will do the same for you, If you make it to that finish line I will give you a massage free of charge. If you want one:)

Nice run today. I'm pumped to see how well your going to do and you'll have fun too. I'm struggling right now.... I'm giving myself until Monday (noonish) to get feeling better and decide if I'm going to still run. At the present time it's looking pretty grim. Sucks.

From Jon on Sat, May 30, 2009 at 21:02:53 from 75.169.150.250

Josse, is that offer good for races in SLC, too, like the Wahsatch Steeplechase?

From Adam RW on Sat, May 30, 2009 at 23:08:38 from 98.202.223.65

Dave, you continue to amaze!

From josse on Sun, May 31, 2009 at 00:41:27 from 70.193.57.40

Jon only if you run it at least 2.78 times;)

Dave, I think you will do fine at squaw. you have definately put in the miles. I can't imagine how anyone could be in better shape for this kind of race than you. You lack experience, but you can learn from others experience. I don't know much, but in a race that long i would say that you need to run at least the first half so relaxed that you don't even know you are running. good luck enjoy some tapering.

From Vis on Sun, May 31, 2009 at 12:18:56 from 208.88.9.50

You'll be super awesome.

Hey Coach! Do you mind if a old man comes and joins the XC team on tuesday?
