Coop is ready for the mountains.

Great fun

This skit is too funny.

18 weeks

The countdown and the serious training begin for the 2011 marathon.
The goal is 245. If prep goes according to plan, believe this to be an attainable goal. Having gotten a few 18 plus mile runs in the past few weeks, I have shaken off the longer run cobwebs and I am ready to start getting some quality base runs logged.

Dark early

We are now in the short day season. Dark by 430!
Monday ran to the pool22 min, swam reg warm up, drills, then 1000yds. 100 cool down. It was 1600yds total swimming. Ran home a different route 23 minutes.
The swimming is getting pretty easy, just a matter of relaxing and keeping good form.
Tuesday 90 minute run. The hamstrings were getting very tight towards the end of the run.
