August (2016) Running Challenge

Thanks for having me along this month. Pretty exhausted as I haven't run this kind of total distance in a month in years.
Running repeats of a 1.8km stretch can get to be tiresome too but the target kept me going.
Completed/ Target: 101km/ 72km

@Azercord
The 50k I'd like to do is in wichita, ks. It's a fairly flat 2k gravel loop. The race is actually a run as many laps possible in 6/12/24 hours. Medals are awarded at 50k for the 6 hr, 50 miles at 12 hours & 100 miles at 24 hours. Last year's winner ran almost 124 miles in 24 hours. It was crazy. The good thing is you have easy access to water, nutrition & gear. Bad thing it's wide open (we can have nasty wind in November) and you're running in circles.3 -
@5512bf I don't know if it's been mentioned, but a few of us are doing a half in Jenks OK in November. My husband @Ericjayh , my son @chasingchickens08, @ceciliaslater , @WhatMeRunning, and I plan on it. Were trying to get @greenolivetree in on it too. Figure you might be interested in a MFP group run?
@WhatMeRunning is buying all the beers
unless @Stoshew71 joins us! 6 -

No way! We've talked of a MFP run for some time. Be pretty cool to have one with a nice turn out. I'm looking forward to some face to face high fives! 4 -

52 -- 100
58 -- 158
50 -- 208
9 -- 217
I've got a cutback for the first half of this week, then I start tapering the last week of August. The math says 217, but reality says to aim for 200. Gotta have some leniency with those summer miles!
6 weeks and 1 day until marathon #5! Where did the entire summer go?!11 -
The aim for August will be 220 km (136 miles). But I still got a run tomorrow
to fill in my July quota.
And you better watch out folks. My new kinvaras came with the latest tech in anti-gravity propulsion.
