Preparing for the Pocatello 20 mile Trail Run


Well I have been a bad blogger the last couple of weeks.  I have been so busy with life that I have neglected my blogging duties.  Just a quick update on how things are going.  I took a week off after the AR50 to recuperate.  I suffered from some serious soreness for about a 4 days after the run.  I did not run for 10 days to recover then jumped back into  training.  My weekly mileage was a follows: April 17-23 - 24 miles, April 24-20 - 36 miles, May 1-7 - 45 miles, May 8-14 - 41 miles, May 15-21 - 12.5 miles.  I will run 3 miles on each day next week until Wednesday, take Thursday and Friday off, then compete in the Pocatello 20 mile trial run on Saturday. I did a 20 mile trail run last Saturday and included on pictures of the route in the Indian Springs area south of Twin Falls in the foothills of the Sawtooth National Forest This is one of my favorite running locations, providing lots of variety in terrain and a peaceful place to run.  I also included a picture of my big toes that are starting to regrow (as you all now from my video, I had toenail issues in the AR50). I look at my toenails as proud battle scars but my wife thinks they are disgusting and refuses to look at them. Maybe this will force her to see them.  Enjoy.  I will post my Pocatello 20 video report early next week.
