Weather

A weekend of mixed weather. I ran 5 miles in the rain on Saturday, 5 miles in the newly-fallen foot of wet, wet snow on Sunday, and 10 miles in the slush today, Monday. All three runs went well. Quite the workout today with the dodgy footing. Still pushing towards the marathon. I also just signed up for the PCT 50 miler in July. My only other race will probably be Where's Waldo 100k in August. This race is the only race that I ever spend alot of time thinking about. The best put-on race I have ever been to. Close friends have done well there, and the course is magnificent! This year is again the Masters 100k National trail championships, and now for 2008-2009, the Open 100k National trail championships. So, a good race to be at (not that I'll be contending for either title, not old and fast enough for one, and not fast enough for the other).

Run on...

New Year

I've now put in three runs with Todd over the last week. A couple 10 milers on Ridgeline and a 5 mile road run. the two 10-milers were on trail and the first really worked me over. Sore for a couple of days. Out of breath most of the run. That's what I get for using that as a first run on trail. The second one, same run different day, was much better. Better feeling, better stamina, little soreness, better time. Looking forward to really getting down into the training schedule now.
