Week One of 100 Mile Training

Tomorrow morning the journey to 100 miles will officially begin. On the schedule is an 8 mile run and some p90x if anyone wants to join! I am excited to begin training again after a week off. This week is not too demanding in terms of mileage. I will be totaling only 40 miles by the end of the week. My training will progess to 80+ mileage weeks as I get closer to January.
New developments in terms of run logistics: I will run with a balloon each loop and tie the balloon to a post at the end of Chelsea Avenue where I turn around to head back to La Jolla Village. On the last loop I will bring all of the balloons the final four miles and release them as I finish the 100th mile (sorry environmentalists!). I am also going to record videos periodically throughout the run to keep things interesting.

As the weeks wear on I need to keep the big picture in mind and work my hardest. The bigger picture being helping Malia crush cancer and raising awareness about her battle. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Monday. Keep Malia and her family and your thoughts! http://www.maliacrushescancer.com/
