Finally broke 100Miles in a month

I finally broke the 100 mile mark for the month. I almost had it in December, but the holidays kept me home bound.


I am in training right now for two different races. On February 7th I have a Triathlon Sprint, 400yd swim/8m bike/2.5m run. I was most worried about the swimming portion, but now I am more worried about the bike. I am coming in at around 9:00 minutes for 400 yards in the pool, which puts me in the middle of the pack compared to their results from last year.

The other race I am training for is the Inaugral Illinois Marathon in Champagne Urbana. It looks like it will be a great race around town and it will end in the UofI stadium. There is a kids fun run also, that Jazzy is going to sign up for. I know I can run 13 miles, but the 26 is kind of daunting. My training has me doing a 16, 18, and a couple 20 mile runs, so those will give me an idea of what I am up against. One of my training runs will be a trail race in Castlewood Park. If your looking for a fun time, this looks to be a great trail race. http://www.bigriverrunning.com/Castlewood%20Cup.htm
