Week of sept 24-30: 50 miles with DeMar Marathon 2:37:04 Disappointing race.

Pulled away from Connor Jennings Around 2 miles ran solo the rest of the way. It was a beautiful day on a tough hilly course. miles: 5:30,5:41,5:41,5:32,5:35,5:41,5:33,5:21,5:15,5:31 Looking forward I want to start doubling again and lift 3 x a week. I also will be able to get back to the track for Wednesday workouts now that xc is just about finished. I'm excited for some trail races this fall and gearing up for big things on the indoor track. I'm looking to break the world record for the 4x800 for 35-39 year olds. I just need two more interested guys with the ability to run 2:02 or faster.
