Finished my 50 mile trail run in Houston yesterday. It started out nice, then started to rain a bit, then rained really hard for an hour or more, then more rain off and on for several hours, then a couple hours of clouds and then the sun broke through and started baking things for the last 4 hours or so. If that sounds like a lot of hours it was! I finished in 9 hours and 31 minutes. That ended up 18th place out of 94 finishers. There were almost 150 registered, not sure how many of those didn't show up to start and how many of those dropped out during the race.
It was harder than I expected, but not as hard as I expected at the same time. I'm feeling a lot better than I expected, pretty sore, but no blisters, no toenails that feel like they are going to fall off or anything like that. Especially considering that my feet were wet for about 45 of the 50 miles. A bit of chaffing and a little sunburned, but not bad considering the crazy conditions. I actually got out and ran a couple mile recovery jog just a few minutes ago and it felt pretty good.
I took a few pictures and saw plenty of alligators and even got a good picture of one right off the trail. Lots of mud and then lots of sun there at the end. I'm going to write up a race report at some point. I didn't finish the race thinking I'm never doing that again or anything like that, but I didn't finish it thinking I needed to sign up for another one tomorrow either.
Maybe a nice mountain 50K this summer...

I'm walking between 3 and 4 miles a day and taking as many hills in my route as possible. I keep looking at the kettlebell in the corner thinking its time to get to work.

Friday: Shoulders & Traps
Sunday: Ran 12 miles (farthest I've ever gone) 2:05
I was breaking in new shoes, thus I took a slower pace. Can't believe how warn out my old shoes are after doing this run with new 'kicks'. My easy run ended up not being too far off my generally quicker pace/shorter runs. Keep in mind I run like a badly thrown bowling ball being tossed down an alley.

I am an avid rockclimber and surfer and hunter of course... seems like my hobbies really took over my workout routines haha. But what better workout is all that?

Might take another jog tonight, the legs are feeling pretty good. Could turn into a quick workout with the tire and sledge hammer, etc.

Good to hear Contender.
5 rounds of incline bench, curls, upright row, tire flip, tire row, lunges. Then three sets of throw downs and beating the tire with the sledge. Running on Thursday.

Treadmill tonight and then started a new routine with resistance bands and my 25 pound bags of shot. Going to start trying to mix it up a bit.
