Monday evening, I met up with "The King" again. He is this awesome 10-point buck that hangs around the parks in Twinsburg where I run. I was running near the treatment plant and I noticed him ~10yds away on the grassy rise. I stopped running and my headlamp illuminated him pretty good and he froze in the light. We looked at each other for about 30 seconds before I clapped my hands together and he bounded away in a flash! Very majestic and beautiful...
I resorted to the dreadmill last night and tonight after work since I don't like ice... It is a different kind of running/workout and I guess that I could get used to it, but I prefer the outdoors much more.
I will probably stay indoors this week in an effort to get over this cold... It figures, the week before the race and I get sick. Oh well, I just consider it a forced taper... If I only had the training to taper from... :)
I have no expectations for the 50k next weekend: I just want to enjoy the time in the woods and have fun, at least as much fun as 6-7 hours of running can be! The weather looks to be cool next week so the mud should freeze and the trails may be in good shape.

Make sure you have spikes or screwed shoes, the trail is icy. It will be much more enjoyable without all the falling!
