- run 1:42:42, 17.45 km
middle ~8 km on trail, including some rooty/rocky sections. legs a bit tired for the final couple km. tried out a few different gels, liked all fine except the hammer raspberry. blech. funnily enough, that was the only one that didn't make me burp a minute or two after having it. but no actual GI discomfort, good sign.

total mileage this week: 56.89 km (35.34 miles), 5:12 total time on feet. plan is to build toward 80+ km per week and/or 9 hours time on feet over the coming months, and then hopefully be able to maintain that going into the fall. if i'm able to do that and stay healthy i'll sign up for another half in septemberish. staying healthy will be goal number one.

i've signed up for two ultras, the first of which will basically be a dry run for the second: the patapsco valley 50k in late october and the JFK 50-miler in late november. JFK is the oldest continuously run ultra in the US, so that's neat.

Notes

Got up to 16 degrees on this run. Might need to start bringing water on my runs since I started feeling a little dehydrated in the last 15 mins. Usually drink like a litre of water (smoothy + coffee + a big glass of water) or more before running, but maybe I need to update that if runs are going to extend and weather is going to warm.

37.7km for the week, the most I've run since 2018. And not pain in knees, hip or achilles. We might be back, boys.
