This was my 3rd week in a row of building up my long runs and mileage. I had to move a couple runs around, but overall was happy with the runs and mileage I got in. Right on track! Monday rest I skipped out on my Monday yoga class to make sure I took a full [...]

The North Face 50M: Week 9
We’re half way there! Monday 1 hour yoga I broke my rule this week of taking one complete rest day and did yoga on my non-run day. This wasn’t a very leg intensive class and was just a lot of stretching. I do not plan on making this a habit, but this week it just [...]
The North Face 50M: Week 7
Oops. I am done with week 8, but gotta recap week 7 first! Week 7 was a cutback week for me. It worked out well because it coincided with a trip to my parents house for my sister in law’s baby shower (I am going to be an aunt!). Plus, after 3 weeks of building [...]
The North Face 50M: Week 6
The first third of training is now done! I am working on a post right now about my training plan for this training cycle, so that should be up this week finally. So, let’s recap last week so I can get back to that training plan… Monday rest No labor on labor day for me! [...]
The North Face 50M: Week 4
After a cutback week last week, I was looking forward to upping the miles again. It turned out to be a pretty busy week, and I ended up missing one of my runs. I still had a solid week and got the important runs in, but this week was a reminder of the constant battle [...]
The North Face 50M: Week 2

Back to Base: Weeks 5 & 6
I have so many runs to catch up on, I don’t even know where to start! I guess the best spot would be where I left off right? I spent the last 2 weeks before North Face 50 training officially started this week continuing to build up my base miles. I was able to get [...]
Back to Base: Week 4
After 3 weeks of increasing long runs and increasing total mileage, I decided to take a cut back by cutting my long run by a good chunk and taking down my overall mileage just a tad. With real training just around the corner, I knew it was a good time to take advantage of a [...]
Back to Base: Week 3
This was pretty much the best week ever for one reason: so much trail running! 5 out of 6 of my runs were done on trails. 4 out of 5 of those runs were in different parks. It was so great! I wish every week had this much trail running. I am going to try [...]
Back to Base: Week 2
My goal for July is to continue to build a strong base in my running before I start to dive into real training again. I should probably talk about what the next big thing is on my racing calendar for 2012, because yes it has been decided, but I will get to that soon enough. [...]
