AM- Today is the local Spinx road marathon, so I decided to run the FHT Heartbreak Bench marathon again on the trails.  It's 24-25 miles, 4800 to 5800 ft climbing (ish), lots of fun.  I wore my Ragnar hunter safety orange and saw lots of hunters and backpackers (at least the second half).  Went out moderate pace and hit the turnaround in 2:06, 2 min faster than last time.  Came back in 2:01, 4 min faster than last time.  New FKT of 4:07:57.  I love this trail- lots of singletrack, tons of pretty trees and a carpet of leaves, lots of hills.  If I stopped my potty and picture breaks, and didn't do it at the end of 100 mile weeks, I'm sure I could break 4 hrs.  Next time.  I'd have to stop negative splitting this, since I should be tired on the way back and it's 500 ft more climbing.

Nicely done! A great week of running! I ran with Evan Honeyfield for the first time today and he said to tell you hello.

He's a great guy. Good to hear you we're able to meet up.

Impressive that you broke your own course record on a training run...
