Future Endurance Athlete



I'm holding Gavin..who is the son of Mark and Beth Harris. Mark is one of my training partners, who mainly races Adventure races. Gavin is 4 months old but wears 9 month size clothes..he is big and heavy! I got an arm pump holding him!If he doesn't get to big, he will make a great athlete some day. I'm sure Mark and Beth will do their best to see to it!

Ok..got 70 miles in this past week! My long run was the red-white-blue + blue on Friday with Jadeyn. (He is also racing Stump Jump) Then finished the weekend with some easy trails runs of 10 or so miles. I have a little discomfort in my foot..leg? but had a massage done focusing on that area and feel somewhat better. This was probably caused by the road miles last week when I did that 22 miler thing down in Cool springs!

So started my taper this week. Will back off my mileage around 30%..which means 40ish miles or so..some intensity. Then, it will be race week and I just hope the sun comes out!! I really don't believe in depression or some other mental aliments but I do believe I suffer sometimes from Lack of Sun attitude but it usually does not last long..the sun is out all the time really!
