Like that bouscren of death that's always crashing my Windows PC ...<br /><br />Just noticed your comment about cutting at least an hour off your best time at the Superior 50K, Steve, which would put you well sub-5:00. I have no doubt you're capable of that, but I still say that 5:30 is a better goal for now. If you start out aiming for sub-5:00, I suspect you'll likely crawl home in 5:45+, whereas if you start looking for 5:30 and things are going well you may be able to pick it up as the race progresses and finish in the 5:15-5:30 range. The latter will be a lot more satisfying ...Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08294289051330849635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-76537720537644131902011-02-24T13:55:14.106-06:002011-02-24T13:55:14.106-06:00What's your most recent Superior 50k time?What's your most recent Superior 50k time?Georgia Snailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04605735988408411210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-83816040999859429562011-02-24T13:44:49.464-06:002011-02-24T13:44:49.464-06:00And, of course, just as I type that, Colin swings ...And, of course, just as I type that, Colin swings by to make a liar of me.<br /><br />What a drimnins!

The weather is going to improve (someday), so stick to it; it is going to get easier!<br /><br />Still, if I were you I'd try for a more reasonable goal at Superior. From what I can tell Dimitri Drekonja is fast and consistent -- he's run a 1:08 half and 2:28 full marathon. Granted this was a few years back and you have more trails experience, but I think you'd be better off with a more reasonable target. How about sub-5:30?Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08294289051330849635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-70176101121954802452011-02-24T11:34:01.450-06:002011-02-24T11:34:01.450-06:00I've been happy for at least the past 3 weeks....<i>I've been happy for at least the past 3 weeks.<br /><br />That worries me. ;-)</i><br /><br />I haven't been physically sick in quite a while (I attribute this to my exercise regime), but when I <i>do</i> get sick, the illness is usually accompanied by a sense of elation because I figure once I'm better, I'm due 6 months (at least) of good health.<br /><br />(It doesn't always work out that way, but I persist in this belief because I HAVE FAITH.)<br /><br />This is like the obverse of your being worried because you've been feeling well.<br /><br />I guess that makes me an optimist and you a pessimist? <br /><br />Man, if you're so screwed up that you make ME look like an optimist by comparison, I feel bad for you!Glaven Q.
