Out with Aubrey at Ark fest. She did really good for the whole. Planning her routes and knowing where to go on the map.

Looking at results the girl who won the U8 female category (Aubrey's category) would have come first place in the open female. hmmmm.....

Less than 14 days to go.

Headed out for one last long run (was planning for about 4 hours). First 2 hours went great and I was cruising along the Grand Valley Trail clearing all the spiderwebs for anyone else. At some point I realized in two weeks I'd be sitting on the starting line about to climb a big ski hill (I may have been listening to an ultra running podcast at the time).

Then my left achilles started to get tight. It got to the point where it was pretty painful. Took an Aleve and decided on a short route home. I'll see a massage therapist on Wednesday so get her to help with the muscle and probably ride a bit where I would have run in the next two weeks.

It's coming scary fast. No more work really to do except for Kristen to sew my ice hat and planning more and more planning.

Went out to Homer Watson. After a brief warmup the plan was I started at the top of a long hill. Ran down to the bottom of the hill, turned around and ran back up. The whole time trying to do this as fast as possible. Recover and repeat. Did 8 of these.

1-2-3-4-4-3-2-1.

Cold was a bit better today, so headed back to normally scheduled training. Although I took some extra breaks to get my breathing under control. Normally I only give myself a minute to recover between interviews, today I gave myself 2 min after the 3 and 4 min intervals.
