Buckle

This morning was the only day of bootcamp for me this week but it was a good one.  Lots and lots of lunges and squats.  If I can alternate weeks with 2 days and then 1 day of bootcamp that should be good.  As long as I can maintain some crunches and pushups in the interim I should continue to get stronger.

This month I'm really going to make a serious effort to buckle down and get in some good miles and lay off the beer some.  As I stated in one of my early posts in January my goal is to maintain 93 miles per month this year. If I can do that, that will bring my the yearly totals for 2010, 2011 and 2102 all up to a 20 mile per week average.  This month I fucked away a lot of days being hung over so I fell short.  Thankfully January was good so I've only got to get 106 miles this month to get my average back up.

I not only need to put down the beers for the sake of cutting down but I've got 4 upcoming events I need to get ready for.  Prickly Pear 50k next weekend ( I guess about the best thing I can do to get ready for that now is to not drink between now and then).  April 7 is Hells Hills 50k in Smithville which I still have a chance to get reasonably ready for.  Pandora's Box trail marathon is in Burnet on May 3 and then a double out and back (30 miles) on the Barton Creek Greenbelt the very next weekend!!!

Then, a decent rest period the last half of May thru the first half of June and that will leave me 18-19 weeks to focus on getting ready for the Cactus Rose 100 mile Oct 27th.

Time to buckle down!!!
