10 miles around sugarhouse. i spent some time yesterday putting together my training for des news. next week will be 8.5 weeks out (the race is on a wednesday this year), so that is when things will get a bit more structured. the planning was tricky with the race being on a wednesday -- i structured my weeks from thursday to wednesday so i could keep track of my mileage and go through a typical build up/taper pattern (i really messed this up last year). my big goals are all on des news this year. i usually run this race as a builder for TOU, and i look to TOU as the "key" race of the year. i'm still planning to run TOU, and i do want to run well there, but i'm putting all my focus on des news for now. grrrrr, 2010, 2011, 2012. |
