A pretty good week. In trying to not add too much time on my feet too rapidly, I took 3 zero days this week knowing that I would be finishing off the week with the RAMFD. Doubling up by running before work and then again at lunch is proving to be a good way to add time without impacting my family life. The RAMFD was very enjoyable. Around 400 people turned out for the track event. Some ran a lap and then headed off towards Robie Pt. and the Western States Trail. Others, like me, were being paid by the mile so were bound to the track for purposes of accuracy. The last 7 miles were tough and reminded me how much farther I need to go with training before I will feel in control running events longer than 25 miles. I just need to be patient, keep working and it will come. It was a great event in support of a great person. I'm feeling a little sore this morning but will be fine. Planning on getting out for a couple hours of easy trail running later. So far, so good.
