Pig tails rock!

Welcome journey joiners!  You now number 100. 

I will make it around to say hello but in the meantime, let me know what you think. 

Leave a comment or drop me a email.

Thanks to all those followers who do let me know what is on their minds. 

I love hearing your feedback, suggestions and comments. 

Day One of what I hope to be three consecutive 10 mile days.  I am hoping because tomorrow is Hubbs knee surgery so depending on how he is managing post-surgery I may not be able to get all my miles in. 

I have less than 2 month before my next ultra, The Skyline Challenge, so I need to keep my miles heavy and train my legs to go when they are tired.  I have been doing my version of some speed work.  Using my unstrollered morning 3.5 miles to hit a faster than race pace.  Since my ultra will be on trails speed won't be as big a factor as endurance.  So my training will focus on high mileage and pushing my lactic threshold.

Tonight we did our 6.5 mile loop (51:45) finishing our 10 miles for the day.  It was an overcast foggy day.  The run was enjoyable even though LBM wanted every single flower we passed.  When I picked one and gave it to him, he was mad that the flower was wet and he couldn't blow all the seeds off of it.

He eventually tired of the wet flowers and curled up with blankey and napped the remainder of the run.

With the humidity so high, I was the usual sweaty mess by the time I was done.  I am loving the shorter hair.  Piggy tails are awesome!  And Hubbs feel like he has a brand new wife, but that's a topic for a different kind of post.

What does your spouse/significate other think when you make a big change to your appearance?
