I have my goal race this month: PAC Rim 24-hour, but first I have to get through the Mountain Marathon this weekend. I'm sweep so I'll be in those mountains a long time! Lots of snow has fallen lately so I expect the difficult course to be even more challenging.<br><br>

Wednesday: 8<br>
Thursday: rest<br>
Friday: 3<br>
Saturday: 17 miles

[Better than yesterday]

<p>Spring is almost here. Spring is almost here. Spring is almost here.  Ohmmmmmmmmm.  Nope, I'm still not buying it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The one thing I'm really looking forward to doing when the weather warms up a bit is running in just shorts, and doing speedwork of any kind.  The last time I ran even close to 5k pace was in a 5k on Thanksgiving Day.  Feel the sun beating down, focusing on good form while I challenge myself to hit the fast end of the range on the final interval of the day.  Gotta love it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't have any plan for the rest of this week at this point.  I'm taking a little rest from early morning stretching and core work, but I'll get right back on the wagon next week.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Monday................3 miles recovery pace, stretch, core (hip emphasis)...<strong>0</strong></p>
<p>Tuesday...............5 miles, stretching, core (ab emphasis).....................<strong>3.5</strong>, per plan</p>
<p>Wednesday..........5 miles, stretching, core (hip emphasis)....................<strong>4.0,</strong> no stretch or core</p>
<p>Thursday..............6-7 miles, stretch....................................................<strong>6.7</strong> miles, stretch</p>
<p>Friday..................3-4 miles, stretch maybe, no core.............................<strong>5.0</strong> recovery with striders; stretch, core (hip emphasis)</p>
<p>Saturday..............11 miles, stretch, core (abdominal emphasis)............<strong>0</strong>. Life just gets in the way.</p>
<p>Sunday.............................................................................................40:00 stretch, core (ab emphasis)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Total Plan................34 miles +/-</p>
<p>Execution................19.2.   <em>For all have sinned and fallen short of their weekly goals.</em></p>
<p> </p>
