  • Well, this is where I had planned on posting up my previous weeks mileage…however since I have a (Self Diagnosed) stress fracture there will be none of that!

    Ugh, there is nothing worse than having beautiful weather, lots of friends running EVERYWHERE & posting their adventures AND having a Major Race (Weymouth Woods 100k)  just 117 days away.  This injury is going to set back my training by 6-8 weeks maybe even more since I will have to comeback slowly…..

    Just to make things worse I have been cross-training on the road bike and just broke another spoke on my rear wheel, now I have to wonder….What am I doing wrong??

    Today marks the start of a new training routine I have put together.  Let’s hope that the activities do not have any pain associated with them ’cause if they do I will again have to figure something else to do…..

    Additional Note: I need to find a good Yoga / stretching routine that I can incorporate into my mornings.  If anyone has a suggestion please let me know!
