I get tired reading it. (But I did send in my Pumpkin Butt app a week or so ago. Guess you're skipping that one. And I might fit a 5K in somewhere. hehe.) Holy cow dude. I get tired reading it.

My first one was at Vermont last month and I loved it. Yours looks like some rough terrain....I don't run well on rocks. AJ Johnson Christian,

Good luck at your first 100. My first one was at Vermont last month and I loved it. Yours looks like some rough terrain….I don’t run well on rocks.

I run faster, shorter distances during the week - solo or with my stepson for his fitness. CrossFit utilizes interval sprints which also helps me tremendously. I run long, on difficult trails, on most weekends, whether that's solo, group runs or races. Ironically, especially to LSD-type trainees, I only run 30-50 miles a week. ::: CrossFit training: what can I say? I believe. CrossFit methodologies have been a significant addition to improving my core and overall strength - and weight loss. Plus, the "sport of fitness" concept makes training fun and varying and exciting. ::: Family: I simply can't rest. {wink} When I return from difficult training, I suck it up and make sure to include myself in family activities regardless of my desire to soak into the sofa. Cheers! Amy – that’s actually an ongoing struggle, but I work hard to manage it.

How do you fit it all in? For instance...what's a typical long run training week like? I've seen videos of some Cross Fit workouts with people flailing around on the floor, tired, throwing up etc. :) So...you do that and then go for a long run? I assume you work and do family stuff too... Do tell :) Holy Moly what a schedule. How do you fit it all in? For instance…what’s a typical long run training week like?
