body feels remarkably good after this past week. 89.4 miles of running... love it but that is a max for me i think. not sure.... just scared of getting hurt again... having so much fun running and doing whatever i feel like.

the plan for next week is for about 40-50 miles and then 12-14 the week leading into the race.

perfect weather and some small clean waves. surfed just north of seaside reef and got a bunch of waves. nothing awesome but was just super stoked to be in the water.

great sleep after a solid recovery night out...

epic food (chicken sandwich & fries) at priority public and a couple of sculpins.

mellow morning and no rush getting out the door. perfect morning to run.

headed down south through that lagoon and then to the coast. 6 miles a quick pace but not quite a full out tempo back up the coast. 6 miles in 40:42. I felt strong and relaxed. good effort backing up yesterdays long run.

stoked with the last 2 weeks. Ready to taper and absorb it all. body feels great.

stashed some water and then met kevin out in san elijo. we rolled out into la costa and put together a killer 15 mile loop. he showed me a bunch of "new" single track connecting everything!! I had ridden it a while back (can't remember how long ago) with trevor but we had to do a lot of bushwhacking back then. not today. people have done a lot of work. awesomeness!

pace was mellow... and i wanted it that way. my plan was to stay conservative (100k pace) all day. running with kevin is perfect for that. he doesn't care about pace.... just loves to run

we stopped half way through the first loop to fill bottles (stashed water) and then finished up back at the car and refilled again. then we charged a gnarly 10 mile loop through san elijo. Kevin wanted to hike the climbs so i was on my own and ran every step and then back down to the truck again at 25 miles.

I refilled again and headed back to la costa and did 2 climbs we hadn't done yet. the second one being the goat trail. the only time i power hiked all day and that was the reason i went up it.

back to the car at exactly 30. my goal was 5 hours or 30 miles, which ever came first. mission accomplished.

nutrition was awesome. the metabolic efficiency/fat burning is working and works even better when i keep it aerobic all day. felt way better than last week... and i felt good last week... so this was really good!

pre: 2 spoonfuls of justins vanilla almond butter (crack) & black coffee
during: 1.75 bottles of skratch, 2.5 bottles of water, 1 packet of justins maple almond butter - that's it!

no fluctuation in energy and could have easily kept going.

good sleep.

windy morning. i was going to either surf or spin and checked the wind when i got up... already blowing pretty hard. easy spin down to del mar and back. headwind on the way out, tail on the way back. legs felt good and pretty much ready to rip.

lax ball & stick... super hot today... cracked at 16 minutes got out for 20 seconds and got back in trying to make it 20.... cracked again. HR through the roof!

mellow lap around the hood with maggie and ruby... at the pups pace. felt good and love running in the 1400's.

good sleep but not enough. stayed up late watching tv. need a big night of sleep...

solid workout this morning with maggie. i really like this one....

Hill Repeats: 10 times a moderately sloped hill (6-10% grade) lasting 60 to 90 seconds with the jog back down the hill as recovery + 15 to 30 minute Cool-down

NOTE: Run this workout as a Hill Circuit. Run hard up the hill, jog for 30-45 seconds then run a stride on a flat section lasting 20 to 30 seconds then jog back down to the bottom of the hill to begin the circuit again. You should end up with 10 hills and 10 strides.

this one was good for strength, speed, and turnover. having a lot of of fun running right now.
