Runs have been slow.
Uninspired.
Low weekly mileage.
After this week, I am working my way up the rankings. I had a great tempo
run on Friday and consistent mileage throughout the week even though it was
parent/teacher conferences.
Most important, I am zeroing in on my racing season. A
few favorites were taken off my list due to conflicts. So I couldn’t commit to
what I wanted my season to look like. I
wanted to choose a brand new race and I think I may have found it in
California!
I read somewhere that many authors can’t write their
story until they know the ending. I decided to start with my ending(s).
August—Pike’s Peak
Ascent
I have some unfinished business on that mountain. My last
2 miles were hard last year. So I want another crack at
it.
September—Lead King Loop 25k
Love, love, love it. The scenery & atmosphere of the
race. Low key, challenging, and overall incredible!
November—Project
Athena Moab Trail ½
Last year, I did the marathon which was challenging
coming off of High School CC season. It
was another incredible event for an amazing cause. I am excited to take a right
at 10 miles towards the finish instead of left to head out for another 16
miles!
The beginning of my story will consist of a lot of great
training races scattered through May, June and July!
I can't wait to sketch out my training. I just finished planning my friend Stevie's training. She will competing in the International Skyrunning series plus many incredible trail races around the world. It was challenging and inspiring to create a plan for a World Champion.
Here's to longer days and melting trails!
