I really upped the mileage this week and my body responded very well to the added stress. I felt extremely strong, especially on Saturday. My goal was to figure out my pace for my next 50 mile race coming up in two weeks. I've decided on an 8:30 pace for the first 25 miles, and from there feel my way through. During my run on Saturday, the first 22 miles I ran at 8:29 pace, and the last 12 I ran at 8:17... I had a lot of energy when I was finished, and was able to run a solid 14 miles the next day. I feel that my training has me ready to PR at this race. I'm looking at coming in around 7:30;00 for the race, which shaves off 2 hours from my previous 50 mile record.
