Training update – Sunday May 5, 2013

The weather couldn’t have been any nicer this whole week; nothing but blue skies and hot temperatures... but that didn’t stop me from wearing a long sleeved running shirt with a sweater over top. Yes it was hot, but training like this will help me prepare for the hot temps in Badwater. Up until this week I have been running on nothing but pavement because the Badwater Ultramarathon is a road race. However, this week I started running on trails once again. I will be running in the Sulphur Springs 100 Mile (trail) race on May 25^th .

Today was great! I started running at 5:40am and went until 12:20pm for a total of 60km. The trails at Dundas Valley, which is where the Sulphur Springs race will be held was beautiful. I saw 13 deer as well as many other animals which were out and about. The course was dry and as I said before the weather was great. I love running on trails and enjoyed getting back to them this week. Here is the breakdown of my running this week.
