sun 31 a huge group of us went down to long island for a 50k. i was hoping to run it in 3:36 (6:59 pace). i was under 7 min pace for 23 miles, then my legs just stopped working. i staggered through the last 10k and finshed in 3:47 (720 pace). i feel fine with how i did even though i fell apart and died a horrible death. these were my 5k splits 2208,2201,2135,2135,2130,2133,2155,2333,2545,2613. if that was painful to read, just imagine how it felt. the last 2 laps hurt worse than anything ive ever done. i guess i wasnt surprised though, since i wasnt anywhere near ready for the distance (decided to do it a month ahead of time). i think with the right training i can go back next year and run the whole thing under 7 min pace and cut at least 10 min off my time. the trip was a lot fun (highlights- fyffes red bull road rage, wolverine, we won an argument with a richard of a race official, seeing hammett almost get hit by a car during the race then pounding on their hood and swearing) but now its great be out of the backseat of a car.
