Turning 50

With two outdoor runs over the weekend, I cracked the 50 mile barrier this week. Just three weeks short of 10 years since my last time over 50 miles. Guess what, that 10 years makes a huge difference in the recovery process. I struggled with soreness and general fatigue for most of Monday. When pushing the mileage, we're more suseptible to colds, etc. Right now, I'm trying to get as much sleep as possible to fight off a sore throat and just plain recover enough to get in the next run. With the school vacation week and a light work week in early March, I hope to turn 50 once more.
