100 Training Days till KMXT's Run the Rock!


That's right...
there are 100 training days till
KMXT's Run the Rock Race!
Time to circle your calendar for Saturday, October 9th~

What better day to start training than the first day of the month? Well, I can think of one...my very favorite day to start training...TOMORROW!

But no, I tried that LAST year and ended up dead last in the 5K. The good news is that I wasn't actually dead.

It turns out that a KODIAK 5K is quite a different animal than a Kansas 5K (can I get a "NO, DUH!") . Last year I thought I could eke out a slow shuffling 3.1 mile race/walk without that training I kept putting off. I was not factoring in things like, uhm, oh for example, MOUNTAINS.

I've already started weight training at the Kodiak Athletic Club. Tonight I'm going to put in my first walk/jog of the 100 days. I'll let you know tomorrow how it went. My goal is to "just move" down the road for 30 minutes after I finish my board shift tonight. Oh and I need to make a commitment to a race: The Marathon, Half Marathon or 5K. I'll let you know that too.

More good news: As long as I keep training and avoid injury, I'm going to shave a heckuva lot of time off of last year's race.

Are you in?
