McNotagain 30

     Another weekend, another ultra.  After Forest Glen, Mcnaughton Park will seem tame.  I am so looking forward to getting to Pekin on Saturday morning and getting this thing started!   I have had two weeks of recovery and a good week of  carbo-loading,  I'm trying something different with the loading for this run, I am taking in almost 90 percent of my total calories this week with complex carbs.  I have gained a few pounds and hope they pay dividends at mile 25.  I will let you know.

One Down-Two To Go!!!

Farmdale is in the books.  33 miles-6 hours 30 minutes. Tried to make it in 6:15 but crashed on the last 4 miles.  Painful.  Next week is Forest Glen.  I've heard it is a very difficult course.  Very hilly and water.
We will see who is boss!

No Pushing 50!!

Well, 50 came and went without much fanfare.  Went for a short run to stay loose for this weekend.  Farmdale, Forest Glen, McNotagain.  All three in the month of October.  What a way to celebrate my 50th year.  Michelle treated me to a weekend at a bed and breakfast in southern Illinois.  We had a great time hitting all the wineries and just spending time together.  I will let you know how this weekend goes.
