I did the Revolution Run!  5 hour timed race around the indoor track at Utah's Olympic Oval, where I believe speed skating events were held during the 2002 olympics.  Pretty cool venue;  lots of people, but 442 meters per lap made things a lot less chaotic than they could've been, despite making the math as far as distance completed a little trickier.  I've been wanting to do this race for years and finally got around to signing up, then immediately came down with a nasty chest cold.  Felt a little better the day of the race, but knew after a couple laps that I was expending way too much energy for the pace and scaled it way back.  So 'running' was a very generous term.   Fortunately I had time to work with.   This event gets the whole spectrum from people who show up to walk a couple laps to the hardy souls who go the distance and crank out like 40 miles.   I stuck to my original goal and did 51 laps, figuring that a bunch of people would stop between 47 (a half marathon) and 50 cuz it's a nice round number.  I was right and it was good for top 25% or so and somehow 3rd in my age group.  It just took a lot longer than I wanted.  This format definitely favors the stubborn. 

It was fun and terrible all at the same time.  But I'd love to do it again when I'm closer to 100%.   Going from barely running at all and 2-3 miles at a time to 14 on a hard indoor track probably wasn't one of my more brilliant ideas, but here's to leading the 2019 mileage board!  Feeling pretty good today all things considered.

No course cutting nonsense here either!  Unless you want to get run down by a bunch of speed skaters.
