I went to the gully with Ashton and I ran the top of the gully while he started a time trial. I got to the parking lot and he wasn't there so I started down the big hill, I found him a ways down and did the rest of the time trial with him, he was really tired. It was a tough run, we got through it though. It felt really good to be finished, I am going to do another 4 miles tonight to add up to 10 miles. That will be a 40 mile week which isn't bad. Next week will be about 40 as well and then the next week I will bring it up to somewhere in the 50s. Then once the team starts meeting the following week I will start doing two a days for 60 miles and work it up to 70 or 75 in july.

Later- 4 miles, took me a while to post this. I started feeling sick on sunday, I will try to get an easy 4 in today after EFY. If i'm feeling better tomorrow, I will do 8. The goal is 40-45 miles for the week. This will be my last post untill saturday, have a good week everyone!

Nice job Blake. Are you trying to get Cubby or Davis or Chase to join you?

Yes I tried to get them to come but I guess they were busy. I am pretty sure they've been running though!
