The next 1000 miles...

Last winter, I mentioned to a friend that I was going to start training for BSR, and she said something to the effect of: "start training? but you run every day." I had to explain the difference between running 'cause I like it and training.

The time off (essentially since May) has been great, but I'm chomping at the bit to get going. Happily, the next cycle begins on Monday. I'm going to try a new training plan for this race. Here's the weekly mileage it calls for: 52, 55, 57, 57, 60, 60, 55, 62, 65, 65, 68, 70, 70, 70, 70, 60, 45, 15 (+ 26.2). Just over 1050 miles to the starting line.

I'm so ready. My body feels sturdy (the result of two races last fall + better dedication to lifting this winter?)... hoping it will be up to the task.
