Very good run around the 7ish mile loop at Townlake this morning. This is the first time Shan and I have checked the new distance with her Garmin. I believe she said it was 6.83. Before the boardwalk it was a shade over 6.9. Not a big deal except for anal peeps like me who like to measure their progress (or lack of it sometimes). Our time this morning was 1:06.30. Not too shabby but I was a bit disappointed. It felt like sub 1:04 or so.
Trying to figure out what races to run this winter. I always vacillate this time of year about which winter events to run. One of the Bandera races is a no brainer. Also, I've pretty much decided to enter the points championship this year so I really need to get in 3 races early in the year. I was gonna do the 100k and 2 50k's but now I'm leaning toward the Bandera 50k and see how fast I can go at the Rocky Raccoon 50 mile. And then maybe Hell's Hills 50 mile. My goal is some good points and to possibly try for a new (middle age) 50 mile PR. There is no way I'll ever get close to my old 50 mile PR of 8:51 from '99. My middle age PR was set at Wild Hare in 2012, 11:40. I know with some decent training I can go much faster than that in Huntsville. I really feel like I can go at least sub 10:30 there. So, looks like it's time to get busy!!
