Funny that my 50 mile time is faster than my 50K.  Guess that's what happens when your only 50K has over 11,000' of vertical ascent =)

Just want to stay happy and healthy.  Bring on whatever that may entail!

Personal:

I started running in April '09 and run to maintain some balance in my life.  Apparently I have an addictive personality so I figure I should do something positive with it.

Got out to the JRP for a quick 6.  Been awhile since I've run there and now I remember why I prefer trails to roads.  I just enjoy the variety the trails have to offer.  Still enjoyed myself and was able to get my legs turning over pretty well.  I thought I'd be slower on the flat stuff since I rarely get a chance to run flats in the mountains.  Turns out I've maintained my speed and maybe even picked up a little.

The JRP was full of yucky bugs today, but I quite like the asphalt trails! I need a 50 miler on one of those.

Glad to hear you are getting speedier, that is always good!

Kelli, I believe Ogden puts on a 50 miler on the asphalt. I think you'd do really well with something like that!

I should check in to it. I actually think I could do the Pony Express 50 miler, it is not technical at all. I wish I could just learn to do better on the trails, but it hurts. Am I weird???

That seems pretty normal to me. I'm the weird one because the asphalt hurts me when I train on it too much.

So good to know I am the normal one. ;o)
