Jailbreak Marathon 3:30:08

Had a good time out in Wautoma, WI with the Jailbreak Marathon 3:30:08.  It was a small race; I was 6th out of only 48 and was able to get 3rd in my age group.  Anyway, it has been a long, long time since I have averaged under 8:00 per mile for a marthon.  Age seems to be getting to me, or at least I allow it to be an excuse.  This race got me pumped up for next weekend.  I feel pretty strong now and feel comfortable I can get 62 miles next weekend.

Earth Day 50K - 5:35:29 ave 11:16 per mile

Had a great time out at Crystal Lake, IL running the Earth Day 50K.  The race was a little short, but that is fine with me.  Also, in comparison with many races it was very easy, probably less that 1000 ft climbing during the whole race.  I was able to post a fair time that I'm happy with, even though it is double digit pace.

Clinton Lake Trail 28 Mile Race 5:58:33 ave 12:47

Had fun out in Dewitt, Il for the Clinton Lake Trail Race, I had a lot of fun, but it took a few days for my legs to get back under control.  My time was a slow 5:58:33 or an average of 12:47.  I haven't been doing any hills and it showed! 

Two days later I had a 5K where I was able to go the 3 miles in 18:55.  My legs felt like logs, but was able to perform on demand.

My next group of races; three weekends in a row starts on 22 Apr with a 50K, followed by a road marathon then 24 hour track race; so I better get ready!
