Running around and around... and around

This morning when I woke up, I had little motivation to run. Unfortunately, where I am staying at my uncles house over the summer and the only place to run is the half mile down to the freeway and back… and when I do that for 5 or 6 miles I get bored. So this evening after getting of work I went to the track (OK I know, quarter mile loops around the track aren't that exciting either haha but there are sports teams practicing and lots of stairs). I took advantage of all the stairs to get at least some variation but it made for a good workout. I guess I'll be researching what are some good distance workouts when you don't have far to go. Any one have any routines that they do? Let me know!

Ultra Training

Just a little over 3 months (or 96 days) until the Wasatch 100 Ultra Marathon. I have been running consistently for the last few years, but now it's crunch time!  I have run longer races before, but never an ultra, and well, I may have over done it with a 100 miler. It has always been a goal of mine. My mom ran marathons and ultra-marathons, and I remember the motivation that she gave me. Well now it is my turn. I am going to run one! I am not looking to break any speed records (I am lucky if I can hold below an 8-minute mile for my long runs!! haha) but I will finish, and hopefully this blog will motivate both those reading it as well as myself to push ourselves a little more.
