The Days Are Numbered

So here it is. My first post enroute to running the Wasatch 100 Endurance Run on September 8th, 2007. I've been "a runner" for a while. Seriously (of sorts) since my freshman year in college when I abandonded soccer for the glories of cross-country. These days my runs are more of the release from my job as a children's book author and illustrator, but I've really enjoyed running on trails as well. I've run numerous 50ks and a single 50 miler. 1oo miles still seems a little unrealistic to me at this point, but that's the goal :) A running friend of mine suggested that we sign-up, with good intention to train together over the summer, and I basically decided "what the heck."

After a solid winter of xc skiing, I added in some running near the beginning of February. That being said, I'm about 8 weeks into my base training and running a comfortable 30+ miles a week right now. A slow and steady climb from here, but I'll try to make this my training log with some occassional comments on progress for anyone that might be paying attention...

Cheers!
