T-Minus 4 Weeks

It caught me by surprise, but the Way Too Cool 50k ultra trail marathon is coming up in four short weeks. Despite a trip back East, a bout of the flu and some lingering issues with my back, my training has been going pretty well. I am not exactly where I had hoped to be in terms of run volume, but I really can't complain.

This past weekend turned out to be a great weekend of training. Pia and I started with a long ride on Saturday and then followed it up with a 21 mile run up, down and around Mt. Tam on Sunday morning. I can't tell you how much fun it was to run the trails in the rain and mud. Charging through knee-high puddles made me feel like a kid again.

The next three weeks will be critical for us to continue to increase our mileage and get in as much hill work as possible. It should be fun.
