10 beautiful miles this morning on my 10 mile loop. I haven't done this one in a few months and it felt great to do it. It's mostly downhill the first 3.5 miles, then up, up, up. I didn't stop at any time, and that excites me. A few weeks ago I really questioned my fitness so I bumped up my running and it's paying off. Still have a ways to go, but I'm on the right road to improve my 50K race. Forgot my watch, which was probably a great thing.

Good man Russ. Nice to see you picking it up a bit. Steady as she goes...

Nice! Looks like the 50k is still a ways away--plenty of time to hone up fitness.

Bam, thanks. Yes, steady as she goes is right. I'm in no rush.

April - thanks also. Somehow I missed your race results. Congratulations! That's so impressive that you knocked off basically a fast 10K from your time, in crazy conditions. An exciting start to the year.
