Paleozoic Trail Runs 50K (4:56:10)


It went well...I meant really well that I achieved two goals-finish under 5 hours and 2nd place in age group.

The longest distance I covered since last November was 14 miles on the road and this fact made me worry about how my body would respond after 20 miles.  About a month ago, I started running everyday by combining long and short runs, but run everyday.  That increased my weekly mileage from 30-40miles to 50-60miles.  I am not too certain whether the increased distance was the game changer, but I was able to hold on to keep going.  Of course, it was hard, but when I was getting close to the finish line, I knew that I can go at least up to 40 miles.  So that was a good sign for my new training method.

With Chris at the start/finish line (he and I placed 9th and 11th overall, respectively.
With Jung Kim for the first a few miles.
