Preparation

With our summer mileage already assigned and the first day being a day off, I decided to prepare for what was going to happen this summer.

It's a bit tough for me to accept that I have the least mileage out of the returning top guys but I understand. As much as I wanted to hit 80 this summer, I understand that my body might not be ready for it. I've been out for about 2 months so I have to start this summer slow. It's a bit frustrating but I know it is what's best for me at this moment. With that said I will be on top of all my miles. I will focus on quality not quantity this summer because no matter how many miles I do if they aren't quality they won't be as beneficial as if I'm doing less.

Thinking about it now, this summer doesn't sound like it is going to be so solitary. I have a new training partner for this summer, we share a common goal for our miles this summer. Hernan will be coming back next week, Kevin will be back at the end of the month, and two more teammates live close enough to join us. It is possible to have a group of 6 to run with this summer. That's pretty awesome.

This will be an interesting summer.
