I had Taco Time with Diablo hot sauce for lunch...I run right after work. What was I thinking?

Ummm...it's been a minute.
Last post was Sept 30 2023
before my first Ultra.
Have not even logged in since I got a new phone 6 months ago.
What did I miss?
I'm slacking on my posts.
Mon 3 mi easy
Tues 4 mi with run group
Thurs 4 mi around the hood
Today 20 mi half trail half path
Long run was tough. Last 3 miles were areal bitch.
I'm assuming my legs are still a little wrecked from last weekends PB
No sign of injury though!
😊
Sunday I ran the Step Up For Mental Health Half Marathon.
It has been 3 years since I have ran a half (been locked in on fulls).
I took close to 8 minutes off my PB with a time of 1:34:40!
I finished 1st overall for my age group and 25th overall.
I'm pretty pleased.
4 mile run with the run group. Beautiful evening on the trails.
Toe caught a root and I went for a ride. A little sore today but not too terrible.
4.4 mile run with run club last night on the river trails. Beautiful evening.
Time to ramp back on intensity so my ol get-away sticks are ready for Sundays #StepUp Half Marathon.
Hoping for a push for a PB.
Terry Fox run today for me. 10K with a gal from my running group who is running a 10K event soon and has never completed that distance.
We ran it today at her pace and she got it done in under an hour which surprised her.
Pretty cool.

4 mile run on Thursday
13.1 mile run today
Tomorrow is the Terry Fox run.
Pretty good weekend so far.
3 mile trail run with the running club.
My legs feel really, really good.
The super long runs this summer are paying off somewhere.
Back in the gym tonight too. Took a week off with a tweaked muscle in my back.
Life is good.
Late post on my Full Marathon at @RunQCM
What a great day!
I was banging along really well until about mile 23 & was on pace for a PB at one point. The last 3 miles had different plans for me
I finished just under 4 hours. I'm good with that.
QCM - AWESOME JOB YET AGAIN!
👊
4 mile run in the smoke on Monday.
5.34 mile run last night. It was my first ever run with a running club. Was a great time.
I have been a solo runner for so long, it was nice to have people to chat with.
3 mile run and Gym yesterday.
13 mile run today on the trails. Was supposed to do 18 according to my plan but my legs were toast.
2 weeks until the race...more to be risked than gained this late in the game so shortened it up.
Taper time.
5 mile trail run on Monday and a gym session.
Nothing Tuesday.
Golf Wednesday.
8 mile tempo run tonight and gym.
Tapering has begun!
4 mile tempo run on Thursday after a gym session.
No run Friday in anticipation of a distance push on Saturday...but I did hit the gym for a quick one.
Saturday was a 31 mile (50k) distance push. It went really well. This was a big confidence boost for me.
Longest run ever.
3 miles of intervals tonight. 3 high/1 low x 6....after a quick chest and back session.
I have incorporated ab work into evey gym day. I hate myself for that.
