Running the Loon Mountain race tomorrow in Lincoln NH. It should be quite the punishment. The last kilometer of the race is up a 40% grade. The name of that section is "Upper Walking Boss". I'll be power hiking that one.... and crying. Lots of big mountain runners will be there as it's the USATF Mountain running championship & Collegiate Mountain running championship.

This is a picture of Eric Blake & Zach Miller. You really get a good sense for how steep UPPER WALKING BOSS is. Eric in the gray ended up finishing 3rd and Zach ended up in 4th...... top six make the US Mountain running team and go to Italy in September to race for the USA!
This race chewed me up and spit me out..... Halfway through, I vowed that I would never run it again. Of course when it was over, I was thinking about next year. Here's a picture of me on the final down before the UPPER WALKING BOSS.
Then bring the pain. This section which is about one kilometer long, took me 21 minutes to power hike. UPPER WALKING BOSS..... Brutal.
You mean I have to climb up there????? What the cuss!
One if front of the other..... My quads really hurt.

| 10.1 miles Started this run later in the morning. Pretty darn hot. I tried to take it easy while keeping the pace around eight minutes. I felt decent for the first 3/4 of the run, but then the heat and my lack of fitness caught up to me. 7:53 avg. |

My friend Kris picked me up at 5:30 am and we drove to Wachusett mountain for some running. The first 3.2 miles on the summit road were a real grind. I was feeling pretty gassed when we reached the top. With the majority of the climbing behind us, we started to descend and ended up taking a wrong turn which brought us to the other side of Wachusett. We back tracked and got back on course. I had a super fun time and would love to do some more exploring of the area. The temperature and views were ideal.

After yesterday's climbing, my legs were feeling pretty dead. I was surprised to be moving as well as I was today, if even for the short effort. 6:59 avg.

Right at the one mile mark, my calf felt like it was cramping severely. I stopped and tried to stretch it out, but to no avail. With the way it feels just walking, I'm thinking a couple of days off.... at least. Bummer...
