I've also posted some comments from last weekend's races.
Now to get focused on the main events, World Masters in Austria first week of July and the Swiss O Week in Zermatt in mid-July. Need to work on a training schedule and motivation, gets harder to get out as it gets warmer.
A separate matter is the need to work on the G. If I don't watch out, it will be back to 140, when I'd really like to have it at 132 in 6 weeks. It just feels so much better to be lighter, and the reward comes when I finish a race, and maybe collect a scalp or two (i.e. beat some young stud who's made a mistake or two), and think how much longer I would have been out there last year. So it's a question of how to do it. I've got one idea which I'll try and get started this evening....

C • G 11
trail running 1:01:10 [3]
shoes: Pegasus 10/05
With Phil, from Mill River north on the Robert Frost trail to the railroad tracks, plus a detour coming back. Not feeling very zippy but good to get out.
Note
So my project to keep down the G is based on just cutting down how much I eat before bedtime. Which is easier said than done.
So the plan is to make it easier in two ways -- one is to give me something else to do then, the other is to add some motivation by resurrecting memories of how much fun it is to run well in Europe.
Both of these are done at the same time and in the same way -- by adding to my web page one evening at a time the map and a few comments on races I have won, or almost won, outside of North America, starting tonight with the beginning, day 1 of the Swiss 5 Day in 1980.
We'll see if I can keep this up.
