Lots of snow this week!  This was a down week for me anyways, so I had an opportunity to do some ski cross training and take a bit of a break over the weekend with lower miles than normal.  My typical off-day (Friday) was more of a workout than I expected with skinning 3 laps at Pico, but I lowered my Sunday run by a few miles accordingly.

T     Skate Ski at Mtn Meadows (1 hour 20 mins)
W    7.8 mile Griffin Hill Loop Run
Th   7.8 mile Flat Rail Trail Run
F     Skinning/Ski at Pico (4300')
S     11.3 mile run (7:45 pace)
S     8.3 mile run with Hillary

I just started ultra running in 2013. I have done a couple Ironman triathlons then I did not train much for about 3 years. On July 27, 2013, after a long bike ride with some friends I got the itch and signed up for the Virgil Crest 50 mile ultra. I was able to place second overall and tie the previous course record. My longest week included a 27 mile run and a weekly total of 50 miles. I am curious what I can do with adequate training ...

I attempt to take advantage of each season and cross train as much as possible to prepare for my upcoming 2014 ultra running races. Below you will find excerpts from my training days and races. You can search the blog for individual race reports or other key words on the bottom right-hand side. I work full-time as a professor at Castleton State College, so I utilize weekends for longer workouts and do what I can during the week.

Let me know if you want to go for a run!
