T - 24

If my calculations are correct, we have 24 days till race day. Time has definitely flow by this weekend.

Last weekend, we made a trip back to Preston, site of the infamous Snow Day run. How would the warmer weather and the improved fitness feel? It felt great! I really focused on being smooth and steady for this run. Keeping in mind that I want the effort to be easy. I just need to get the distance done at a reasonable pace. That mental process helped. I felt strong and fluid for most of the run. No sudden unexpected fatigue at any point in the race.

The last couple of weeks I've been amazed at the progress I've made this season. For the same amount of effort, this is the strongest and fastest I've been. I've started to buy into Jim's (Coach) training philosophy (trails and hills).
