weak

52 miles in 15:35 Saturday/ Sunday.  We hear the term, "it's relative", all the time.  Relatively speaking my performance this weekend was pretty weak and disappointing. I need to look at my events list but I don't think I've ever run 50 miles slower than 12hrs.  I've been working harder than usual the past several months on core stuff but haven't gotten in many long runs.  And, I've been abusing myself pretty good with beer lately too.  How many people can say in a 7 day period they got drunk enough to fall down on their front porch and have trouble getting up and inside their house by themselves AND run 50 miles?  Well this guy can I'm ashamed to say.  It's the truth though and maybe putting it out here like this will help me slow down some.

This past weekend is the last event where I'll attempt to go longer than 50 miles or 100k.  I'm just not up for the mental stress and challenge of staying up thru the night any longer.  I'm thinking the Tejas 250 would be a great challenge along with the Bandera 50k or even 100k thrown in for good measure.

Oh, and no more loops at Run Like the Wind for me.  Sam needs solid volunteer support from people who are focused only on volunteering, not muddying the waters by participating too.
