Schedule flexibility

Had to help a friend with a fence today, so I skipped my long run today. So I have to add some miles throughout the week and do a good long run next week. You have to be flexible sometimes and do what you got to do.

WS100

Today is the western states 100 and the winner will probably be Jim Walmsy a 28 year old but it makes me wonder if a 40 year old could win it and could that be me? I think I could compete with enough training. Or am I crazy?

Fast mile

So once a week now I am doing a really fast mile. I do a 2 mile warm up, a fast mile and jog 1 mile. The first week was 7:31, 2nd was 7:37 and today was 7:25. My goal is to get it to 7 flat before the marathon.

Running high

Not an extraordinary run today, it just felt awesome. 2 miles with the dog, 3 without.

I think I can. I think I can

There is some feeling I get when I'm running that I can become not only an ultrarunner but a great ultrarunner. I want to run very very far and finish first. For some reason I believe I can.

Running is consistent, blogging not so much.

Wow its  been a long time since I updated this! Well I have run at least three times a week since November 2018 and now averaging 4-5 days and about 20 miles a week. My plan is to run the Redding, CA Marathon in January, so I need to start boosting the miles and I may go to 6 days a week.

Still moving forward

So after I sprained my ankle i took about three weeks off of running. More time than i wanted to be off but it was probably good. During that time i still took the dog for walks and did bodyweight workouts. But now I'm back to running three days a week for about 3 weeks, and I plan on doing the moonlight madness 2 mile race across the Shasta damn on 8-27-17. Its short but it looks fun.

Update: I kind of got off of running for a while after the above happened :( but am now back running stronger than ever as of November 2018.
