Has anybody run the Barkley Marathons in Frozen Head? I just saw the documentary yesterday (on Netflix). It was really good.

2.66 in 17:17. It was supposed to be a 5K but they messed up the route. I still would have crushed my PR. Probably would have been about 18:40 for the full 5K. Finished 7th overall.

6 yesterday afternoon. 7:51 pace. Felt good about that.

Only elite and accomplished ultrarunners are invited to run Barkley. I might be the only one here that's even run an ultra?

4 miles last night. I really pushed myself in a light rain. It was really enjoyable even if my feet did get soaked.

I might be wrong but I think puals has done a couple ultras

5.75 last night in just over an hour, 3.5 miles on local singletrack. The full singletrack park is nearly complete a mile from my house. Stoke level is at an all time high right now.

6.1 last night. Struggled through the middle of the run but last mile and half legged it out and was able to get my pace to 8:02

3-ish last night, 5 the night before. Form is coming along slowly.

Ran another 4 Friday night. Took the weekend to rest because I generally don't run three days in a row. I'll get back at it tonight after work.

In case anybody cared to get a conclusion, my bro-in-law went home from the hospital last Thursday and his kidneys are starting to work again.

That's good news. Did he just have to rest or did they have to do surgery?

Rest and dialysis. They wanted his kidneys to start working on their own before they released him.

8 Friday night. Worked all weekend. Last week's total was probably the most I've run in a week, not counting single big events.
