Time makes a difference!

What a difference one year makes. One year ago today I was racing the first 50K of 2009. Mountain Mist in Alalbama. I was totally out of shape too. Ran a slow, difficult 5:32. My goal for 2009 was to race a 50k per month. Today, totally different. First I did'nt race today. I'm doing the Bongo to Bongo training run tomorrow (14 road miles) I know, it sucks. But this year I'm not racing until Black Warrior in February.

My focus too is different this year as the 50 mile distance is what I'm shooting for. So congratulations to John, who is a Rock Creek teammate who ran a 5:05 today and placed 19th I believe.

I actually start training tomorrow too. This only means my runs will have more of a purpose than just putting down some miles. I will actually have to work some 3 days per week at certain speeds and distances...fun!! Will remind me of some good training sessions at the track!

So, the box of Gu in the photo was my first give away. Review the comments from the previous post to see who won this product. I randomly put all comments in a coffee grinder top and pulled the winner out. Stay on the watch for the next GIVE AWAY...I plan on doing a few of these this year. I enjoyed the comments plus someone receives a cool prize.
