Slow, Slow, Slow

Yea, haven't got much further... still only doing 2-3 mile trail runs, and my normal 70-80 miles/week cycling.

Anyway, the race is coming up again in Feb, so I'm back on the official training plan to see if I can finish it this time.

Here's to second chances ;)

Starting all over from scratch

If you did every read this... you'll notice that I stopped updating for about 5 months. No, I never did complete (or even come close to competing in) my first ultra-run.

why?

Well, I guess I'd like to blame it on my asthma. Not sure I can pin it all on that, but that's what started. The week after my previous post I had a very large asthma attack and had to go on steroids for about a month, and for 2 weeks of that I couldn't even ride my bike, never mind run. I felt I had gotten too far behind in the training to compete in the race (wouldn't have had time to build up my mileage), so I decided not to do it.

So now I'm back at it, with a 2 mile run today...
