#23 – 50 runs in 100 days – Hardcore edition
#130 – 100 Days Of Miles Challenge

Last resting week before my last race on Saturday. Started with early morning yoga on Tuesday morning, gym at nite and today was my last run before the race.

Decided to run the route out in the country and through the grave yard.

Grey day but no rain around 8oC (46F). Got chased by a French bulldog, not a angry one though. I saw him noticing me and getting ready and then he ran towards me and I couldn’t help myself cheering him on. He ran with me for a short moment. His owner asked if I was afraid of dogs and I told her no, not a problem.

From the beginning I had a good pace, slowed down a bit up a hill.

I thought it would be  a good idea to test the charger that I am going to have in my ultra backpack on Saturday, this time my mobile phone is not going to die on me. So I charged my phone while I ran, kept them both in my jacket pocket. Light and I hardly felt them at all

Not much more I can do now. I am so ready that I can be and I know I am. I have a goal and it should be possible. It is going to be an interesting race, double as much as last year and 7 of us will run 100K and I am not one of them, a lot of rookies which is fun. Hopefully the snow will not show up, it is OK when I am running on the road on my way to the finish line, not before

I am not sure where I got my energy from, amazed myself today. I hope I can keep up the good work.
