Unscheduled rest day.  First day this month (not a Sunday or Christmas) that I didn't run at least 10 miles.  It was raining outside and I wimped out.

10 miles easy.  

Today was one of those days were I was running and I could tell I was running fast, but the effort level felt really easy, almost and out of body experience.  I guess the rest yesterday helped.

 I think I'm going to take a rest day again tomorrow before I start of my New Year with I nice ultra long run.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Last year on New Years Day I ran my own personal marathon which I won, :)  of course I was the only one running, but I turned in a pretty good time and was happy with the run.

This year I decided to run my own personal ultramarthon.  I predetermined a 40 mile run that I would embark upon.  Unfortunately I did not win this year even though I was the only one running.  I had to take a DNF, but I still had a good run which I'm happy with.

Doone decided we needed to throw a New Years Eve party which was a lot of fun, so we had a house full off guest until about 1am.  By the time we got cleaned up and I got my running things together, it was almost 2.  I took off on my run and started way too fast.  The first mile was right about 7 minutes.  I backed off that pace, but still finished the first ten miles averaging a bit faster than 8:00.  I finally found a good rhythm on the next 10 miles were I averaged around 8:25.  Four miles into the next 10 miles I had a 4 mile climb of about 600 feet and that really kicked my butt.  I never really recovered from that.  My legs started hurting pretty good, around mile 30 and I decided I better head home to avoid any prolonged recovery time.  I never cramped and I never walked, but I did not finish my planned 40.  

I'll just have to try again another day when I can be more rested.  The whole day was a busy day working out in the yard for about 5 hours and then we had to set up for the party and have the party.

Anyways it took my 4hours 40 minutes to run the 32.7 miles I did finish for and AP of 8:34.

I have some major admiration for Crocket who just finished that 48 hour race having run 187 miles.  Amazing!!!!
