Endurance sports reward experience. With this in mind, and recognizing I've gone from a half marathon to fifty miles in the span of a mere seven months, it is no surprise I finished Cactus Rose ahead of only a handful of other runners. With plenty of running years ahead of me, I've decided to take my time recovering from Cactus Rose before running headlong into the next big adventure. Recognizing the benefits of weight training for my capacity to run longer and without injury, I decided to start recovery training at the gym today. I'd like to see continued increases in mileage, but I'd especially like to increase my speed. Over the coming months, I hope to ease back into longer runs, but make them more frequent, rather than simply as part of impromptu training for an upcoming race, and to incorporate hill and speed workouts, all of which is dependent on available time. I haven't chosen a goal race to direct all of this toward, but I'm sure one will manifest itself shortly . . . Rocky Raccoon 50 miler, anyone?
