If I were to choose one word to describe my running week so far, it would be: Challenging. The funny thing is, this week isn’t even over with yet! When I started coming up with a plan of how my training was going to look like this week, I imagined me hitting all the right notes and making my…

miwok 100k training: 13 weeks to go

This week is actually Week 1 and I am officially in training mode! How exciting! Ok maybe not that exciting, but even this little hint of excitement is a welcomed feeling since I haven’t looked forward to marathon training in a loooong while (which is why I haven’t done one in so long).
