Anybody run?

Hope you guys are doing good. Still poundin out some miles here. We have a local ultra here at home in October, and I'm officially registered as of yesterday.

Lots of work to put in yet. There's lots of elevation change in the race, so I think most of my miles at home will have to be on trail.

Pretty excited about it

 

No Badwater here for sure. The race here is called the Hare Mountain 100. It's on the Ozark Highllands Trail, which is an easy 15 minutes from the house from the west terminus.

I'm not trying the 100 though. They also have a 50 miler and 60k. I won't be able to run for a lot of September, so I'm figuring the 60k will be all I can hope to handle.

 

Sorry I missed your post. But, 13 days to go. Training was going really well till mid August. The shoe brand I had been using for a while, as I got into longer steeper runs, my toes were getting jammed into the end of the shoe.

I had some toenails turn black on a 16 mile run, so I bought the same shoe a half size up. Not sure what was up with it, but I got some crazy blisters with them on the first run.

I was getting roughly 70 miles a week until the end of August. We went on vacation, I let the feet heal a bit, only getting one long run, and the rest of September was crazy busy working, so not near as much running as I needed.

Anyways, I've been picking up the pace here this month. Good runs yesterday and today. I'll try to finish this week strong and probably take it fairly easy next week.

Those black toenails are starting to come off now. I'm hoping they hold on till after the race.

I've got no thoughts of competing against anything but myself and the time limit.

Here's yesterday's and today's
