| Stayed in a cabin at Camp Pyoca Friday night close to Brownstown, IN. Thought i would be fun to stay in the cabin even though we live only 40 miles away. Family couldn't go this year - turns out the cabins are common rooms made for camps (think of youth groups with 10 bunk beds in one rm. I still went and met some cool guys who were in my room. Course is 10 mile loop x 5 95% trail with a lot of vertical (>1500ft. climb / 10mile)
Signed up for 50 mile, but, knew that I might not be completely recovered from 70 miles on November 12/13 at Tunnel Hill DNF and that I hadn't done much up/downhill training in the preceding flat 100M training.
7:30am start from te main lodge at camp Pyoca. Things went well going out, and I felt relaxed/comfortable in the earlier flatter portion of the 1st loop. Found myself joined by 1 other guy out in front. As I watche him run most of the climbs, while I power hiked, I wondered if I was in over my head. HAving run the courswe previously, I also knew that there were several steep climbs in the loop. Lap one felt fine, and I crossed the timing mat in first at about 1:33. Took a quick break at aid station, bathroom break in the trees, and the other guy was already nowhere to be seen. hat actually helped a little bit, since I was already ffeling some strange pains and fatigue. By he end of lap 2, I was seriously considering stopping. Through lap 2 in 3:15 total, so a 1:33 lap followed by a 1:42. It got much worse in lap 3. I was walking most of it. Pulled the 1min. on/ 1min. off game just to finish up the lap. 5:42 DNF/finish time, giving me a 2:27 final 10 mile lap! :)

| WU and a 5k race this morning. Went about as well as can be expected. Recovery time these last few weeks and very little TH to LT work. Was in the 6:20 range to finish up the race this morning and finish 3rd in the series this year. Still on the fence abot this whole 100M thing. Not sure waht to do with this next year, running-wise.

| AM - gym TM: WU with 4 PUs, 10x0.5mi. 10mph x2, 10.1 x2, etc. jog recovery for 0.25 mi. @8mph. hit the weights... failed at some squats with a bar and barely any weight on there, and switched to dumbells - did a couple sets of lunges, 1-leg deadlifts, and then some abductor (?) exercise with the band wrapped around ankles. walked 10minutes to CD/shakeout.
Have decided this will be the season of the 5k up to Half training blocks. I wonder how many times I'll change my mind.
