"You cannot dream yourself into a character: you must hammer and forge yourself into one." Henry D. Thoreau

as tough as the canyon was the other day both mike and i have come out of it strong and healthy. very little to no muscle soreness and relatively little fatigue. we were able to run a tempo effort two days later at buffalo park with both of us running significantly quicker than our previous tempo effort a week earlier.

today will be easy miles in preparation for a back-to-back the next two days, most likely 24 miles on waterline tomorrow and 20 miles on tough single track in the mountains tuesday. i'm not an ultra-runner and i've never trained for a race like this before and those numbers are still hard to wrap my head around...
