now that i am scheming for ultras again, i have my eye on an FKT in my area that hasn't been seriously attempted by a man. a woman made quite an impressive effort, which i'm not sure i'd be able to beat. but the male record holder was clearly walking and camping along the way. would be cool to hold an FKT! it's a bit over 100k, so something to work toward for 2026. would require significant planning, as i'd have to stash food along the route. fingers crossed that no one else notices the gap first.

yesterday

- dreadmill intervals
-- warm up
-- 4 x 5 min @ 6:53/mile pace, 2 min @ 10:00/mile pace
-- cool down
a workout i've seen in several places. it works well for treadmill, makes 40 minutes pass tolerably. i'll do it again, upping the working pace gradually.

- climb x one hour
meh

today

- trail run x 2:08:21, 22.00 km
meant to do 12ish miles today but a buddy texted last night to ask if i wanted to join him and a friend for an early morning run today. had to say yes. i didn't know they were planning to do most of it on trails, in the snow! there ended up being five of us for the first ~5 miles, and then my buddy and his friend turned around and i kept going with the other two. they're both in great shape, definitely pulled me up the hills faster than i would have gone on my own. i ended up stopping at a cafe and getting a coffee and a scone and then ubering the last mile and a half home, lol. really fun.

ETA: i was too warm with long underwear, a long-sleeve t-shirt, zip fleece, and hat. not uncomfortable at all during the run, the wicking worked great so i was dry while the inside of my fleece was wet. but that's too much sweat for a cold day. need to keep experimenting with layers on these cold but not very cold days. gloves remain a must.

just signed up for a 50k in october. plan is to try to get into the JFK 50 miler a month after that, and use the 50k as a trial run. but if i don't get into the JFK (spots are limited), then at least i'll have one ultra on the calendar for this year!

yesterday

- run 40:48, 7.27 km
same thing as the day before, lapping the high school, middle school, and library near my house since their sidewalks are well shoveled. took a slightly different route home so lost a few hundred meters in distance. it's a drag to run on ice.

- run 46:59, 7.49 km
not as cold as i expected since there wasn't much wind to speak of. woke with a headache, again, but it didn't seem as bad and then run helped a little. what a pain. proud of myself for dragging myself out the door.

that turned into a two-day headache. unpleasant, was incapacitated for most of the day today, basically lay on the bed staring at the wall or with my eyes closed. feeling a bit better now but still fragile. the running group is going to meet up for a light run together tomorrow morning, since the track is under 8 inches of snow, but i'm TBD about joining. would be most likely my coldest-ever run (24/-5, windchill 14/-10).
