Weekly Summary: Jan 02 - Jan 08

02JAN2012
Mon-AM:  11 miles, Oaks/Betzwood loop, ‘337ft
Started run at 9am with Jason and Kim from the lower perkiomen valley parking lot.  We ran pretty easy.

03JAN2012
Tues-AM:  10.5 miles, Oaks/Betzwood loop (Reverse), ‘219ft
Started run at 5am with Jason.  We ran easy.  Reversed the loop and stayed down on Perkiomen rather than going over Sanctuary.  It was a shorter run and I decided to not add anything on at the end.

Wed-AM:  12.5 miles, Perkiomen Out-N-Back, ‘269ft
I met Jason at 5am and we ran up Perk pretty easy.  The temperature was at 15F and it was cold, but bearable.  I added on an extra mile at the end for shits and giggles.
05JAN2012
Thurs-AM:  13 miles, VFMS (1:45), only ‘750ft
I met Joe (the new recruit) at 4:45am for an easy 2 miles before Matt showed up at 5am.  We then all ran a 6 mile loop in Chesterbrook.  Matt is tapering for Bandera 100K in Texas on Saturday.  He is ready to kill it.  He is itching to move.  Afterward the initial 8+ miles, I then added another 5miles.  Run was not fast at all.  This week is not about fast, but more about keeping miles on the legs for the planned 50 mile training run on Sunday.  I also registered for the Philadelphia 100 Miler on April 7th this morning.  It’s free.  So, I can decide not to do it at anytime and not worry about losing any money.
06JAN2012
Friday-AM:  10 miles (1:20) VFMS, 1000’
I met Joe again at 4:45am for an easy run.  We went up and over Valley Forge Mountain via Welsh Valley and Paul Lenen.  We finished down Valley Creek trail into Chesterbrook.  Nothing special with this run.  Nothing really special with any of these runs all week.  Just taking it fairly easy to give myself the best chance of having a good long run on Sunday.
07JAN2012
Saturday-AM:  0 miles (0:00)
Off day.  Needed one of these really bad.
08JAN2012
Sunday-AM:  37.2 miles, Kent and BJ Prizers Fat Ass 50K
My initial plan was to do a 50 mile training run.  The course is a completely flat 10K out-n-back on the Perkiomen.  Weather was very good.  Temperature in the low 30’s at the start and topped out at about 45 degrees.  I ran the first 2 loops with Kim and than ran the last 4 loops by myself, although Kim rode along on a bike for most of it.  http://connect.garmin.com/splits/140153914
