• General: Run felt good today, if I could work up to about 5 miles doing a work out just like that I think it would really improve the pace I can cruise at when I'm going long. Tried to do a good amount of conditioning today and achieved that so I was pleased.
• Nutrition: Clean. Going to cut a little bit more calories for the next 10 days and see what happens. Nothing drastic.
• Body: I'm feeling pretty good, just getting tired early in the day
• Sleep: 7-8 hours
• Reflections: I'm going to sign up for my first preparation race for Viaduct tomorrow, a 6 hour TARC race that was just released. It's in the middle of March which fits my schedule perfectly. As of right now that gives me 4 races leading up to my 100, one in January (GAC 50k), March (TARC 6 hour), April (I'm still deciding between 4--Traprock 50k, DRB 50m, Tarc Spring Classic 50k, and Lake Waramug 100k/50k-- I'll most likely go for the cheapest option or see if Contois wants to join me for one.) and May (Pineland Farms 50m). I think on top of my other running training this will be plenty of long runs to get me through a finish. My main focus will be to not get lazy in the over 2 months I will go between races in January-March, where it will be really cold and therefore my motivation will decrease. Just got to keep my priorities straight.
• Another thing of note- I'll be testing both my "Fran" time (ugh) and 100 burpees when I get home from school and can attempt them at my gym. I think I have a good shot of accomplishing both even though I haven't been training for either but we'll see what happens.
