Training is going super well. I did 4, 4, 7, and 14 this week. I also did a nice and steep hike this past weekend on my off day. I realized that the race in Montana de Oro might be a little more than I bargained for. So we are planning on running a 11 mile trail next weekend (with an elevation gain of around 1400) in order to prepare for the race in March. It is a "cut back " week so I think it will fit in nicely (our next long run is 17 miles). My fear is that I will get injured because I am not prepared to run on terrain like that but I also think it will be the best of hill training for the marathon. We will take it slow and easy! I am very excited for that race though. One of our running goals is to start trail racing more frequently and eventually run the 32 mile 9 Trails race in Santa Barbara (bring on ultraracing!)Lately our long runs are pretty hilly but I don't think we break much more than 500 in elevation gain. I don't notice the hills much at all anymore. Training is going a lot easier this time around for me and we aren't taking any walking breaks at all. YAY!
