Life Versus Training

My everyday life responsibilities conquered my ultra training time last month.  After having some personal related things that had a higher priority to training, I had to miss out on some much needed runs in for the 50k which is only a few weeks away!!  Although I’m bummed that I wasn’t able to train this past month, I still feel good about things.  My goal has shifted now to just completing the 50k up in the mountains, but I’m good with that.  Besides, it’s the adventure side of things is what drew me to ultrarunning to begin with!

I’ve been back to running the past week and feel pretty good.  Just need to get some serious training within the next 1 1/2 weeks and a short rest to get back on track (maybe the slow lane), but I’m okay with that!  I’ll be volunteering as a sweeper for a local 50k this Saturday so that should help get me loosened up.

Regardless how the run goes, I’m excited for the new adventure and looking forward to it!
