Cactus Rose Training - Week 1 Ending 6.2.13

Monday - Am - 45 min stairs, PM - 4 miles, Barefoot

Tuesday - 8 miles, barefoot

Wednesday - 45 min stairs

Thursday - 45 min stairs

Friday - 6 miles, NB 1010 - My first run in the 1010s and really liked them.  I will only use them sparingly this summer and save them for the last 25 miles at Cactus Rose.

Saturday - 20ish miles, NB 110, North Shore Trail on Lake Grapevine with Doom.  This was a really nice run and I felt better over the last 5 miles than I did the first 5 miles.  We got lost towards the end after Doom got tired of practicing falling down.  We had to run the last mile on the road back to the trail head.

Sunday - Off

Total - 38 miles plus 2.25 hours of stairs


I guess this is as good a week as any to "officially" start training for Cactus Rose.  This race will be my singular focus for the remainder of the summer and into the fall.  I have some pretty lofty goals (for me at least) written down for Cactus Rose.
