Reason #6: I've Trained
No doubt- I put in the work.
While I never hit that "golden" miles-per-week I initially wanted, I did well at my ultimate goal during training-- bringing myself as close to the breaking point as possible, so that I grow from it, without going over the edge.
I did some time on feet runs (10 hours of Lone Peak, 15 at Zion) some mileage based runs (an almost 50k PR at the end of a 108 mile week, twins+little black+ city creek) training on my weaknesses (low blood sugar runs, steep uphills) and a bit of training on my strengths (downhill). Night runs, pacing runs, back to backs... a little bit of everything. No method to this madness!

Now I just need to trust the training. From a Wednesday to a Wednesday (so 7 1/4 days) I did 108 miles. Given that I couldn't build my base as much as a I wanted earlier in the spring due to injury, I'll take it. The work is there...

I can vouch for all your training, early mornings, and heavy eating...
