50K Training Updates by the Numbers

February's Calendar Reads: 45 Activities, 2 Personal Records, 20 Hours, & 150 Miles. Monday - Chest, Tuesday - Back/Bi, Wed - Shoulders/Tri, Thursday - Back, Friday - Arms, And Saturday has been a full body with high reps and lighter dumbbells. Rest day on Sunday from the weights.

Something that I have noticed on the Dreadmill is that the heel of my left shoe will clip my right medial malleolus. I don't quite understand if its my hips, loosing my balance slightly, or what. All that I do know is that it so sucks

I am 4 months out from the Bryce Canyon 50K & the typical questions are starting to pop up in my head. Like, what were you thinking meathead? Do I fully understand my own nutrition for an all day event? Will I be able to run without the Boy Dog by my side? Will I ever FINISH?

Scored free tix & totally not what I expected

Then, I have one of those righteous days and my confidence soars like a hunting Bald Eagle over the mighty Colorado River. Another boost to my spirit was recording a personal best on a hill climb. I was simply riding to the OM House when Strava posted a little medal for me. I placed 527 without much effort at all. So a few days later I went for it and I am currently sitting at 144th place.

The good news coming from all of this is that I am injury free, complete stoked with all the Boy Dog time, & I am extremely upbeat about looking forward to ramping up the milage/hours over the next 3 weeks. I will be "super" smart about it and will have 4/5 days off during March Madness.

Then, stay strong for the rest of March and then start ramping up the HOURS on the trails in April. I will start adding pool time in this week, now that the New Years Res folks are dropping off. Thats made a big difference while super setting at the gym nowadays.

Upcoming Radio Shows: Fridays the 24th at 9am, Tuesday the 28th at 9am, & March 2nd at 6:30pm
