Where’s that red one gonna go? ~ Eli Cash
Tues 13 Apr: 00:39, 4.86 miles, Mtn Meadows surges
Wed 14 Apr: 1:30, 10.5 miles, Gap Road Racoon Trail Thorne Lake tempo
Thurs 15 Apr: 00:26, 3 miles, Mtn Meadows loop barefoot
Coming around at this point for sure but still not back to “normal”. Working on it for sure but apparently this is going to take a little time. Not one of those things one can rush.
Overall, I feel like I am in a pretty good place right now. Feeling fit (when not puking my guts out), way ahead of where I was in ’07 (looking at my training from that year just makes me shake my head) and healthy – all great signs for a successful season. The events of last week could have come at a better time but definitely could have been much worse.
The next few weeks are going to be wacky so I’ll have to get in what I can get in and be at peace with whatever numbers fall out. I would go super long this weekend but that would be ill-advised so I’ll hope to go medium-long and finish with a smile. Next weekend my dad is getting married so I’ll have to work training runs around his schedule a bit and the following weekend I head to Palm Springs for another wedding. Again, my run will have to be threaded among other activities.
But May, June and July await and I am pumped to ramp up the mileage and get teed up for a successful run at Leadville. I have put all the pieces on the table and now just need to make them all fit together.
