The best week of training I have had in a long long time. I feel confident and strong. I have had a great transition (Active recovery) the last eight weeks from my 100 miles at FANS. First recovery then building back up to my regular ten hour training weeks.

Now for the next six weeks I will prepare for my 100 miles in New Zealand. Six weeks of increasing distance and an aggressive pace (Progressive overload). I want to average under twelve minutes per mile on my one and two hour walks. Walk under twelve minutes thirty seconds on my long day each Sunday. The harder I work the next six weeks the easier my New Zealand Centurion will be. Any BIG goal is worth six weeks of hard training for the reward. Excited!

As to my weight. Back to my whole foods diet for the month of August. No more processed foods and dessert. I have ten weeks to drop ten pounds.
