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.

sprained ankle, rest week and new neighbors.

So last thursday I sprained my ankle so I have decide to take it easy and no running this week. After about two months of back to running I kind of feel lazy and a little like a caged animal. But hopefully the swelling will be gone by next week and I can continue on my running journey.
 on the brighter side of things, we met some of our neighbors yesterday and there really cool. They are a married couple me and Misty's age. They have a 11 year old daughter and a grandma as well. They seem like good and fun people, looking foward to getting to know them.
