Okay, so I've been asked enough...I will give it a try. I am not sure if I will be able to update it as regular as I would like, but I will try and I can use the extra motivation the next few weeks getting ready for the SLC Marathon.
Today, I ran a long run it gave me plenty of time to reflect on the races thus far in the Striders Winter Series and my running in general. It's been a long six weeks of being sick and I've tried to keep my mileage up and it has taken a toll. I think I am feeling like I'm on the downward side of this illness and plan to go for it the next four weeks.
I hit 90 last week and finished this week today with 100 miles ( 6 day work week). I plan to jump to 110 this week in 7 days. I hate them but I know the ice baths are coming.
Todays run I felt tired, probably from yesterdays race, I ran up on Wasatch Blvd to north side of the U. and back to Sugar house park. Bre needed to add on 8 miles to give her her weekly goal of 60 miles and she has now hit it 3 weeks in a row and has been doing much better with a base. She will be able to drop her mileage when we start some good speed work on the track. Anyway, she met me up on foothill dr. and ran the last 8. I finished in 2:40, averaged under 8's and enjoyed the weather.
