I was going to do Voyager, but end of the month, necessity to perform in July, and having not trained much in the last few weeks all played a role in me signing up for Superior instead. I'm glad I did sign up for that race as last night as I was standing outside the Creamery in Scandia, I talked to the pastor who officiated Specialist P4 Carlson of the US Army. Great wedding and he and Nina are a perfect fit!!
The pastor... he talked about the section of Superior between county road 1 and county road 6. As we spoke, he said him and a friend (who has run the Sawtooth 100) from the church ran that section not long ago. One of the first things he said was that the goal was to run between 22 and 24 minute miles. I have seen the times that are run there and there were only 2 runners that finished the 100 mile inside of 30 hours. I don't believe there were any that finished in a day.
That's enough here for now. I signed up for the Superior 50 mile and will be following a program that I have created to train for it. This program will be dynamic and can change at any time. For example, I was scheduled to run 22 and 10 in the last two days and due to the heat as well as the wedding, was only able to get 18 and 6. I'll write more on that in a minute.
