Oct. 23 to 30

I have not been very faithful in writing on my blog. As you can tell!!
In the past two weeks I have ran 30 miles on Mondays of both weeks. My time has been 9 to 10 hours. I also ran a 40 mile day the week before.
My mileage for the month of October has been 60 to 70 mile per week.
This past week on Monday I ran my 30 miles but have been fighting a cold since then so have not run since the 3rd of November.
I will run 20 miles on Monday  November 6 and just 3 to 5 miles a day until the weekend of November 11, then just rest until the morning of November 14th at 9:00 am when I start my run and run until I finish the 85 miles.
My running route will be 9 loops  of 9.5 miles per loops. I guess that figures out to be 85 miles.
It temperature has been in the 40 to 60 degrees in the past month. Not really cold but just cold enough that I have to adjust my clothing from time to time when I stop at my aid station, my home.
I have managed  my aid by myself. I stop at the house between loops and Shirley makes me a fried egg and bacon bits sandwich. Boy is it good after 5 hours of running. I carry 6 fig bars and 5 dates with me in my camel back i can run one of my 9-10 mile loops before I have to stop for a refill on my fuel.
I will not try to go that far on the loops so I can stop about every 6-8 miles. As I have written before, I will be only about 2.5 miles from home at anytime for. the total run.
