Thanks – ran all but 1.5 miles of it. The spot that hurt on my leg feels fine. The rest of my legs are pretty sore though ; )

Wow, Leadville is no joke! I’m hoping this race goes well because I’ve already signed up for my second 50 miler and it’s gonna be a doozy (Tahoe Rim Trail 50 miler). That one I’ll HAVE to step up my training for. Good luck on getting into VT50! It’ll be run reading about your training if you do it and having someone to commiserate with.

You are doing a 50 mile!?! Fun! I am planning on doing the VT50 this September. I say planning on it because the registration doesn’t open until May 25th – I have it on my calendar to make sure I register the first day possible! I missed it last year because they closed the reg early because we had a big hurricane come through and destroy most of the trails. Anyway, good luck!!! Can’t wait to hear what you think of it. My husband does the ultra’s, he’s doing leadville 100 this summer – will be interesting! Enjoy the taper:)

I’ve been told that it’s better to be undertrained and rested than overtrained and injured. Good luck on Sunday, I’m sure you’ll have a great race!

I am using Hal Higdon’s Half Marathon Novice Training Schedule right now, and plan to use the Full Marathon Novice schedule starting in July. I loosely follow it – it’s more of a guideline for me than a plan. I am also a master taper-er! I’m running the Dallas Rock n’ Roll half marathon on Sunday, and I tapered last week, and haven’t even run this week! I’m nursing a sore leg that felt a little off, so I’m hoping that it helped.
