Grind

The smoke has cleared from the foothills and the temps have dropped a few degrees but this is a grind.  Work, family and peak training.  Something has to give.  I'm truly appreciative of Meg and the kids.  They are awesome and I couldn't do this without their support.

I peak out with mileage this week.  Then I will have a couple solid mileage weeks before tapering down.  Friday I will run the 4 loop pass trail around the Maroon Bells.  I've been dreaming about this trail since I got snowed out of a backpacking trip 4 years ago.

I'm working out logistics for the race.  It's starting to become more real!

Big props to Tim F for sticking to an amazing training plan as he prepares for VT 100 this weekend.  Time to take it to the course.  Good luck!

Here are a couple pics from my latest run.
