Committed

I guess that has one of two meanings. You get to decide which one fits: http://www.bhs50.com/index.html

The past six weeks have been all about hitting the reset button and making sure my body is able to handle some training stress. I’m handling four days a week pretty well. Starting next week, it will be about lengthening out. It will be about spending more time on my feet.

I picked up a 50K training plan (don’t make fun of the source guys – these women can run circles around most of us) and made a couple of adjustments. You can keep track of my progress here.

So – come join me as I learn about the ultramarathon world. Enough of the streets for me. Upcoming this week:

  • Monday: Scheduled rest
  • Tuesday: 3 miles
  • Wednesday: 5 miles
  • Thursday: 4 miles
  • Friday: Rest
  • Saturday: 12 miles
  • Sunday: Rest
  • Total mileage: 24 miles
