Last weekend I headed out on a long run from ACAC downtown and headed to the Monticello Trail. The 2Mile run to the bottom of the trail was non-eventful even when crossing under I-64 with many cars exiting and entering the freeway. Once at the trail, I started to remember the 2011 Montalto Challenge. The crushed gravel and board walk trail is a lot of fun to run. It is a steady incline as you climb to Monticello Visitor Center ~2Miles from the trail head. All in all a solid 8mile run.
My business travel resumed this week and I expect to be on the road a significant amount for the next few months. Even with the travel I was able to get a number of runs in this week. I got a nice 6Mile run in on Wednesday and a good treadmill run in on Thursday.
I did not get a significantly long run this weekend due to a busy Saturday schedule with the kids. I tried to make the most out of the 3Mile run by doing some speed work. I was able to brave the bitter cold and get a decent run in, but I must admit I wish I had more time to get a longer run in.
So far so good; I have been able to stay healthy and committed to my training. I am starting to look at races for the spring - first one up will be the C-Ville 10 Miler at the end of March. I will start training in earnest in the next week or so. I will craft out a training plan and set a goal.
