Four Weeks to Go!

Will with just four weeks until the start, training has peaked.  Last week was a good high mileage effort at about 45% of the anticipated mileage and lb-miles for the Grand to Grand. This week on the other hand was seven days of travel. Most of the time spent in North Carolina (Southern Pines and Raleigh Durum). Fine 90 degree weather at 90% humidity, with downpours of course.  Trial runs in the Weymouth Woods-Sandhills Nature Preserve and the William B. Umstead State Park made it acceptable. 

Returning to the drier environs of New Mexico, I enjoyed a relaxing weekend with my wife in Farmington.  The high desert and some good night sleeps do wonders for one's outlook and training.  Green chile comfort food also helps!

Now all I have to say is let the taper begin!
