Training Journal 7/30-8/5

Running at Baker for the first time this year

Monday, July 30- Sunday, August 5: Goal was to ramp up the training again for my next race, Plain 100.  Just 5 weeks until the race!  I got a lot of elevation gain this week, and pretty good mileage.  Kept myself from doing a double on Sunday so that I could do a 53 mile training run on Tuesday.   A good reminder that rest days are key.
