Nothing too exciting to post here. Haven't been involved in any police shootouts, no parking tickets (yet), haven't ridden any elk, or even climbed any mountains recently. I did see a tarantula though, only a baby but the thing was freaking huge. Just in the grind of training my butt off, and working my butt off to try and make that dough.
Training has been going very well, just trying to gain some strength and power, while building up my mileage. Running much slower than I did at sea level, but just working on recovering, feeling good, and getting strong. Next race comes 11/4 at the Phoenix 10k, where I'm hoping to vastly improve compared to the results from the xc race last week.
Blood update: The man is well on the road to recovery and becoming a crusher once again. He's running everyday, slow and short. But hey, time on your feet is time on your feet. He's working on breaking up scar tissue and being able to be pain free once again. Blood will be back in no time to tear it up, have no fear. I certainly don't.
Our big goal for the fall is USA Club XC Nationals. We've got a solid team down here that could do some damage if we can all stay healthy and get the work in.
Two friends and teammates, Matt Llano (who is also a housemate) and Julian De Rubeira, are right now on their way to Japan to race in an Ekiden (sort of a road race relay) as members of one of the teams representing the United States. Best of luck to them, as I'm sure they'll tear it up.
Nothing else to report, we'll just keep on keeping on.
