Met Mike at Evergreen-Rotary Park for our usual longer route out to Tracyton and back through Stevenson Canyon. After the canyon we headed over the Sheridan Hill and then went north to Illahee State Park, down to the beach and back to the park through Manette and Downtown. 1:58:00

Felt the strongest up the hill at Illahee as I have in months, so at least I have that small taste of confidence. Other than that not a great week, my schedule unraveled on me and I missed two runs after 14-hour days (not all work, but still unplanned). Six days until Chuckanut, at least I'm healthy and after seeing a few other 50k runners Thursday I'm looking forward to heading up to Fairhaven.

So do we have to carry the Ultraspire cup they give us, even if we carry a bottle so won't need cups at the aid stations? Seems lame if we do.

I was a little unclear about that. That email yesterday made it sound like they'd check. When I talked to Krissy it didn't sound mandatory, but now that I think of it she was saying how easy it is to keep it in your pocket.
