This week I decided to run a local marathon in Spring Lake. Its only in its 4th year but its supposed to be a beautiful course. The winning time last year was 2:44 and I believe that to be the course record. So my plan was to run 30 miles tomorrow and do some easy mid-distance runs during the week and shoot for a sub 2:40 for my last hard long run before I start a slow taper for my 50 miler. I did see that Todd Braje signed up for the Des Plaines River Trail 50 as well. It will be cool to see how I stack up against a speedy guy like Todd (5:30 50 mile PR). This weeks training went well, I needed no real recovery time after last Sundays 10 mile race which was nice. I wish I would've put this kind of mileage in all year. It feels good and I actually feel that I could increase it to 100 miles per week with out much effort.
