Nice week Mark. It is good for us mid pack type runners to see what you are doing! Thanks for sharing. Was Connie's dog bite serious?

Mark,

Very cool blog! What are you training for...you've been cranking out some major miles this past week! Any words of wisdom for me, for next week's Buckeye 50K?? I think I should have listened to you, and NOT signed up for the WINTER 'fun run' (fun??!)I love trail running, but the 'footing' sucks from 1 week to the next...it's either mud or frozen mud, which is really 'scary' stuff!

I just figured out I could post reply comments.

Yea, Connie is ok.
I think the dog caught her off guard.

Big race that I am training for is Boston. I always look forward to hitting heart break or It kicking my butt. This year I hope it's my turn.

I have not run the Winter edition of the Buckeye for that reason of crappy footing. I use to run the HUFF 50K. It can be an easy course or one of the hardest due to the weather and amount of snow fall.

I've been having bad hamstring problems for the past 6 years. The slight slipping every step and the occasional big slip running up a hill seems to put the hurt on me.
