24 Hours of Palmer Lake

Great way to spend another beautiful Saturday.  Set a goal of at least 40 miles and a max of 50 miles which is way more than I have ever run at one time in the month of March.  The plan was just to jog all day and that is what pretty much happened.  Covered 50 laps which works out to 41 miles in 7 hours and 10 minutes.  Not a bad training run.  Not to sore on Sunday or Monday which surprised me, just really low energy levels on Sunday.  This week will be a nice recovery week then back to building mileage again.

Thanks again to VFuel for donating the box of gels for everyone.  Check out the new flavors!  They rock!

Towards the beginning when it is still chilly out.

Walking lap 50 (the last lap) re-hydrating.

Great video that Jerry made.

Still around.

I know I have been kind of quite lately both on here, Facebook, and all the other social media sites.  Between it being Q4 at work, slowly building up my running mileage for Bighorn, and family life in general I have been pretty busy.   Honestly I forget to maintain this blog because my mind is in other places, thinking about what I need to get done that day.  Anyway I am still working on the 365 Beer Challenge which you can check out over here at this link: http://shadsyearofbeer.blogspot.com/.  Hopefully after our Q4 is done at the end of April things will calm down a bit and I will get back to posting regularly again.   I have been keeping my race results page up to date and if you are wondering about my training you can click on the graph on the right hand side and it will take you to my training log.

Until then....
