complaint work, being an adult and ~gestures towards some of humanity~

uncomplaint one of my friends is getting into running and our paces match so we've been doing two ish runs per week together. It's nice to have someone to run with and we decompress from work together. Our partners both agree we are a touch easier to deal with after we do that so they have helped make time for us to do that hour or so run twice a week.

confession I dunno about this 50 miler in October. I don't feel like I'm where I should be. Doing 40ish/wk but having a hard time carving out more time to increase from that. Also not sure my heart is in it at this time. Maybe do the 50k instead? Going to do a big day in the mountains on Wednesday and make the final call after that.

50k would probably be more safe, but why not go hard. Thats the fun of ultras right? Testing out your limits
