Nothing drives me more bonkers than when I can’t find something. Yesterday I searched high and low for my training long from 2012. I had no luck. It made wonder, did I even keep a log? I wanted to compare my current training to the training that I did for my first 50K.
I can’t check my old Garmin because I lent it to a friend and it was stolen out of his car. (I was slightly annoyed because I think it had been in his car for months. But what can you do?)
And my blog barely makes a mention of my long runs or training for that matter. Maybe it was all a dream.
Seventy-four days until Blackfoot.
That means I have roughly only 53 days (minus a bunch of rest days) to get ready. I’m under no illusions that this will be a strong race for me. Spring races always suck a little because the training is done in the unpredictable.
My hamstring is feeling a little wonky this morning. I am glad today’s a rest from running day. Last week I ran 68 kms and this week I am plan to run at least 70. My goal is to get in a few 80k weeks before Blackfoot. I’m crossing my fingers that my nagging injury will disappear between now and May 30th.
Our WOD this morning consisted of front squats, jerks and over the bar burpees. I am glad it wasn’t a zillion squats. I don’t think my poor legs could have handled it. Thankfully my shoulder did not give me too much grief.
Now that my mileage is soaring upwards (the new normal), I have to cut back on my crossfit classes. Balancing crossfit and running will be key. I can’t afford to overdo it and set myself up for serious injury or burn out.
While it snowed slightly overnight, I can feel spring is in the air. I can’t wait to escape to the trails this coming weekend.
