A Nice Week

This last week was a nice easy rest week. I only did two miles on both Monday and Wednesday. I still ended up with 52 miles on the week, and that was a good thing. It was my fifth week running and I had done enough in the prior weeks to warrant an easy week and reap some of the benefits. I still feel great and I am anxious to race. I found a 10k the week Adrienne and I are in Santa Barbara, so that should be fun.

Saturday I ran with McGurk for 13 miles. We had a good run and we have similar goals for the season, so it will be fun to get together more often. He is a great climber, so we will be heading to the hills soon! There are few things I love more than climbing! I finished the week with an early nine Sunday morning, prior to going to church.

This week should be a good week! We got our dog yesterday, so I am sure sleep will harder to come by. He (Guinness), a Vizsla, was great last night. Just a short bit of barking when we put him to bed in the crate, and then he calmed down and went to sleep. He should get more comfortable over the next couple days and be all good! I think I will aim for 65-70 this week and see how it goes. I feel good and I think that is more than reasonable. Maybe a build to 85-90 over the next three weeks. I will be talking to Joe about when to race, and I will be getting in a couple of hill days each week. Most likely Mt. Falcon during the week, and a hard hill run at higher altitude on the weekend.

Adrienne did Mt. Falcon on Saturday and felt pretty good. She got in about 90min and that is pretty amazing for a former sprinter and long/triple jumper. She is doing great, and we are going to be doing the Vail Mt. series together this summer.

Updates for the good ones this week!
