10 myles - 1.08:24

HR urban trails (Fast Eddy 5K)- 6:40 A.M.
clear, low 40s, dry trail
mind/body - ready to go!
easy/hard effort

Prescribed workout: 15 minute warm up/cool down - 20 minutes @ 5:50 pace

Actual workout: 10 myles 1.08:24 avg. 6:50; 5 mile warm up - 5K 18:21 (5:54) - 2 mile cool down

Very good run this morning! Ran at the exact time of the race next week. It took me a little while to get going so I extended the warm up to just over 1/2 hour. The 5K effort was on trail and rolling hills so the effort was maybe a little faster than 5:50 pace. I've done everything that I could to get ready for this race so now it's time to get the monkey off my back. Obviously success would just be to finish Miwok although I do have a time goal in mind...

You've put in some great work in preparation. Just run YOUR race and I think things will turn out just fine. That's a heck of a climb and decent in the middle. Good luck!

Thanks Ben!

I added a link to the 5K route. I started up on Grigs and then came down the trail but you know as well as I do that the hills are rolling.

Talk soon

Hi Scott,

I wanted to wish you the best of luck at Miwok this coming weekend. I'll be thinking about you climbing those mountain when I am doing loop after loop :)!

Sounds like your going to tear it up next weekend. I fully expect to see you coming up from Randall in the top three. Go get'em!

Good luck out there! You need to step it up as SCRUD is now whooping NoCRUD when it comes to overall wins...
