Last week of January and my training had been through a rough patch.

Snow came and gone. Temperature was warmer now (70F this weekend).

No more excuses of not running.

Why sign up for a race if I don’t intend to run it someone asked me? Many people would want to take my place! 🙂

I guess I have to put more effort in it

This week had some exciting news. I participated in the Vermont 100 lottery. I did not get in. But the whole time I was on the edge of my seat. Then I was hoping to get on the waitlist. I did not get placed in the top of the list but around middle at number 82. As of today, I was moved forward to places to #80. It is not likely I will be get in. I was offered to crew for a friend so I hope maybe at the last minute on the day of the race if somone drops out, I could take their place. Keep positive!

Another lottery is coming up. Wasatch Front 100 lottery is taking place this weekend. I will be again on the edge of my seat. I hope to get in. There is a 30% chance. Vermont I had 50% chance. By the time this post goes live, I will know the result.

Race related: I checked (map study) the Old Dominion course.

I planned to sign up for Icy 8 (next weekend). It is also Twot 100. Holiday Lake is still open. I almost signed up for Red Dirt 100. I might still go. There is Mt Michel marathon. I didn’t think February would be so busy.

I need to train for BRR 50. I hope to get a better score this year.

Tuesday: double run day.

Thursday: run

Saturday: 5k race.

Sunday: Clearwater 50k!

MWF: slept in

    You’re now in Wasatch.

    Icy 8 is a good race. If TWOT is also on the same weekend, I would choose TWOT. depending on how tired you feel today after PR’ing your race yesterday.

    Red Dirt 100? 100 miles? your choice. I don’t know what to say about that.

    Mt. Mitchell? it’s good hill training, also at altitude… I’m going regardless of anyone else going.

    BRR 50. I want to get that done too. I haven’t finished in more than 10 years. major uff dah.
