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 =)

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.

15 at the JRP.  The goal was to run a consistent pace throughout, and hopefully be able to negative split on the way back.  Mission accomplished.

Been having some pain in a metatarsal on my left foot.  I think it's just bruising, but I'm taking a few days off just to be sure.  If all is well in a few days, I'll sign up for the Pony Express 50.

Easy run just to see how things are holding up.  My foot felt ok, but definitely still some soreness there.  I'm pretty sure if I run 50 miles on Friday it will be detrimental in the long run, so I'm not running.  I'd want to put up a good performance and I just don't quite feel ready to do that anyway.  Kinda bummed, but I think it will be beneficial in the long run.  I don't want to risk being injured for months on end again.

I had some time tonight to reflect on what's next and I'm not really sure where I'm headed.  I definitely want to maintain a nice base throughout the winter to avoid an early season injury again next.  It would certainly be nice to have an event to look forward to in the next few months though.  Suggestions?
