7 miles today. Swallowed a bug during the run. That in of itself is not unusual as I have chowed down on my share of bugs while running/cycling. This bug, though, left a very bitter taste in the back of my throat, and couple of hours later, I was on the porcelain throne emergently clearing out my GI tract. Feels fine now, thankfully.

We lost 1000 miles between posts #5053 and #5054, and I've done 107 since the beginning of the month:

26.2 miles today, I have no idea what my placing was but I finished in 4:19 and some change. The trails were actually tougher than I was expecting, this was really a good race - plenty challenging. I'll put my place up when I learn what it was.

+4 with my middle daughter
Pace was slow, but this run was more about the company! :)
Congratulations to everyone who raced this weekend! Results look good so far. Waiting to hear how Scorch did at Philly.

Back in the swing of this +7 yesterday. After hurricanes, noreaster's and moving to a new house, I have gotten my groove back. Nothing else melts away the stress better then running.

Nice race Mega! Somehow I bet you're happy that the course was tougher than you anticipated, you weirdo!

I will add another 31 miles. Ran 2:40:58 at Philly, 6:08 average pace. 59 seconds slower than I was hoping for, but a PR by over a minute. I knew there were two decent hills at miles 8 and 10 which were no big deal, but there were a bunch of long, slow uphills from 16-22 that really tired me out. I was on pace for 2:39 through 22 or so, but then slowed down to 6:15s, then 6:30s by the end and just couldn't find anything else in my legs. I am more sore today than I have been since my first marathon, so it must have been a good hard effort! Now for a well-deserved week off.

Excellent work Scorch! You, sir, are my hero. I am also pretty beat up, but I'm going to try to jog tomorrow evening.

And, yes, the course being tougher did make me happy. That's what trail running is all about. :)
