Ran a quick but relatively comfortable 5 mile route I used to run with a buddy. It's the first time I've run it in probably a year and a half. The pace was ~ 7.46 (at least thru 4 b/c that's when I accidentally stopped my watch instead of lapping it). Based on my time, which is about where I was when I first ran it a couple of years ago, I'm either slower than I thought I was or my legs are a bit tired or maybe it came a bit easier. Only time will tell.
On a random note, it looks like I going to be able to take a short trip to Denver to spend 3 days running the trails out there with a friend. Our own sort of stage race. I'm hoping to cover about 15 miles/day. With this trip in the works about 5 weeks before the Triple Lakes race, I contacted the race director to see if I could bump up to the 40 miler. The way I see it, if I can handle 3 days at altitude and mountains for ~ 15 miles/day, five weeks later a 26 miler wouldn't be that much more demanding. I'm up for pushing myself to see how far I can go. I'm not looking for a race I know I can accomplish. This, of course, assumes I can handle the 3 days in Colorado.
