I'm back in California folks and ready to kick this training into full gear.
Last night I had a slog around the block for good measure. Today, I've got big plans. Now I just have to put those plans into action.
My training is going to change up a little bit for Wild Miles. First, I will be doing a trail run each day. Most days I hope to get to an actual trail, but if that's not possible, then I will use the trail function on the treadmill. So life like. Not. But you gotta do what you gotta do. I guess I could try out the headlamp before the race on a trail, but I'd prefer not to. I'd like to stay safe and alive.
Second, I'm switching to two a days. It'll be just like high school except no one will be yelling about me and Kim won't be there to mock Kaufmann. Aside from that, the same. Since I'll be running legs as oppossed to a full 20+ miles in a row, I figure this is a good way to get that training done. Also, since I've been pretty lazy these past few weeks, I think the two a days will help me build my mileage up faster and get my fitness where it belongs.
Here's to something new. Cheers!

I hope in a future post you'll explain how the trail function on the treadmill works. I've never heard of it but I also rarely run on one. Does if feel that different from regular treadmill running? How cool it would be to feel like you climbed a mountain without worrying about mountain lions, rattlesnakes and poison oak!
The trail function is just a silly function that some treadmills have. It's similar I guess to a hill course. So it's not that different except that you're constantly changing your incline.
You have no idea how petrified of snakes I am. I guess I'm afraid of snakes in the wild. Just that I'll step in the wrong place, a snake will bit me and I will die. From a snake bite.
I'm sure a mountain lion would be just as awful, but I feel there's some pride in being mauled by a mountain lion. Or eaten by a dinosaur. Take your pick.
