Yesterday Nicole and I registered for our race taking place November 20th. The countdown is on.
We have about one more “big” week of training before the taper for Santa Monica Mountains 50k. It was a good week with running three two a days, yoga, a sweet 22 miler with Stitch, and total elevation gain of over 12,200 feet in five days. I’ll shoot for the same next week with a few more miles, then maybe take out the pre-work run in favor of a little more sleep as the taper begins.

a couple of good climbs in the park
It was really nice to have dead legs on the first climb yesterday on the Westridge single track. That let me know I had done some good work during the week. By the end of the run everything was smooth and efficient, but I knew I had logged a solid week. Today is a rest day, then back at it tomorrow.
Typical, Comet… Overstating accomplishments and exaggerating to impress others. While some of us logged a solid 22, I believe you only ran 21.89.
One more big weekend before the big weekend — woo hoo!

great work dude! you’re getting tons of great miles on those legs and should be raring to go on 11/20!
Looks like a fun little run in Griffith Park Dave. Can’t wait to see you and meet Nicole in a couple weeks. I’ve never ran in Griffith Park, but I really want to, a lot of steep hills it sounds like.
Keep up the good work!
