Running, Cycling and Tapering
On Saturday I went for an easy 16K/10M recovery run during the heat of the day. It was around 28C/84F and humid as I started out. About halfway around the sun disappeared and the first rain drops began to fall, but this turned out to be a false alarm and the sun came back out.
My legs felt surprisingly good a day after my long run on Friday, but I kept the pace down and took my time anyway, I've put in a lot of mileage lately.
This afternoon (Sunday) I went for an almost 40K/25M bike ride circling around the many town in the area. I stuck to the paved bike paths and try to stay in the sun as much as possible - good heat training for my 50-miler. It was pretty mild today, in the low 80's (F) so I guess it didn't help that much. Actually it was a beautiful day for a bike ride, as was evidenced by the dozens and dozens of people that I passed. Have a great Sunday!

Sounds like you are very ready for the 50 miler.
You are great at balancing out a training plan for yourself--maybe you should start Coaching??!!!
