Starting training today and so NOT excited about getting back on a running diet.  The last six weeks have been fun.  I'm going to miss all the moonpies and twinkies.

Ascending fartlek run this morning from day 16 of Advanced Marathoning.  I knew the perfect trail for this with some up and downs and some great flats.  South spur of Logan trail.  2 miles of enjoying nature for a warmup and then not noticing it much else trying to track the legs.

Best part of the run was passing a long line of Logan Peake trail racers above them on the mountain side since they packed the whole trail solid.

Great run today. Although I have to say that looking back over all your 100 mile weeks recently it's a little scary to think about what you can do now that you are "training".

Abby is here with me and she says hi to Natalie and Shelby.

Thanks. The girls miss your little ones.
