A few updates on my training - Last Thursday, I finished my 600th training mile for the month of March. That is 100 more miles than I have ever run before in a month. Currently I am at 1,364.9 miles for the year (over 13.5 mile/day average). Last Saturday, I ran the Trailbreakers Marathon in Waukesha, WI. I have run this race 4 times before. My time this year was nearly 7 minutes faster than last year's race and I finished 2nd overall in 3:19:39. I ran a very solid race and negative splitted the second half passing 2nd place at the last mile. The following is a photo from the finish line:
This Saturday, I will be running in the Mad City 100K National Championships in Madison, WI. Darren Fortney from my 200 Miler crew will also be participating in this event. This will officially be my 50th marathon or ultramarathon race. We will be running 10 laps through the Arboretum (10K course). Looking to just take it slow and easy - a training run that will cap off my 9th straight 100 mile training week (I'm averaging over 99 miles/week so far this year). If you are in town , feel free to come out and see us. They are very strick about running with us or anything, but we would love to see you.
