Last week I mailed in the registration and fees for my two spring races, so I supposed it is time to get back to training. The Shamrock Run is a 4 mile run through the Irish section of town on March 6, and the Mountain Goat Run is THE run to do in Syracuse- 10 miles of hills on May 2.
The weeks and months that have passed since the Newport half-marathon have been quite interesting. I kept up running between 16-20 miles per week after a week of rest post-Newport, but the search for a job, the holidays, and a terrible cold and sinus infection, and the search for a job (still) got the better of me, so I feel like I am starting from scratch again!
I have been picking up the training, doing alternating days of running and cross training (mostly elliptical and bike) indoors. It has been too windy and slushy to get outside. As usual, I am battling sore knees, which I am trying to get better by strengthening.
Official training for the Mountain Goat begins on March 15. Until then, I will continue to build my base and work on overall fitness! Haven't thought about goals for the race. That will have to wait until I get a job!
Good luck to everyone in your training!
