Ran 5.7 miles in 53 minutes with huge elevation changes. I pushed hard.....and the course pushed back! 
Thinking of running my first ever race this Saturday. It's a half marathon. Nothing like starting small. They say it is one of the two toughest "half's" in the country. First and foremost, I just want to finish, but a time under 2.5 hours would be good. A flat course, I think I can do in 2 hours on a good day, but this course is brutal.

I put in another 5.6 miles today with pack and boots. We got a few hills here around Atlanta but nothing too big. I need elevation more than anything...us flatlanders just can't simulate that.

good mtb bike ride last night. Left the truck at 4:00pm got back a little after 8:00pm 23 miles and 4400 feet of climbing. I am sore today.
Pickle juice really works if you are starting to cramp. I could feel cramps coming and took a couple of big swigs of pickle juice and I could feel the cramps going away. A very successful endurance athlete friend of mine, turned me on to it.

Hope your trout fishing...say maybe the South Holston or Wautaga? I know there in TN not sure where in N.C. you are? Got a cabin in Mars Hill bout an hour from the above mentioned rivers. They are phenomenal. Good Luck wherever you go. Post some pics.
Pushed really close to the total distance I wanted. Wondering if I need to push it up a bit. I did some other workouts this weekend too to go along with this run.

Mission accomplished - Saturday: 13.1 miles @ 1:55.
Sunday was a serious recovery day as I was drained.
Sunday took a 5 mile bike ride to aid in leg recovery.

I've recently added a few moves to my usual workout repertoire. Namely, bear crawls with kettle bells to warm up and loaded carries (farmers walks). On the latter, I shoot for a few rounds with roughly my bodyweight in each hand.
Trap bar deadlifts are a favorite of mine as well for whole body strength.
I'm primarily a weights guy, but I hike with a loaded pack regularly as well. The running deal just isn't my style.

the chores versus working balance is not going as good as it should. been averaging 55-60 miles on the mtn bike each week, and the chores are just not getting done.
