5.5 mile, Trails, 11:45 pace

I ran the normal loop tonight at MAF inculding both big climbs, which adds the extra .5 miles. That extra half mile is a real killer. There is probably more elevation change in that 1/2 mile than in the rest of the loop. I am looking to run 50 miles this week, which will probably include to medium distance runs on the weekend. I am going to try to give myself a break from the long run this weekend as I never really gave myself a weekend to recover from BR. I was thinking about running a the Baker trail ultra Challenge in PA (50 miler) but decided it wouldn't be a good idea, two weeks before Plain.
