"We don't make sacrifices. If we truly love this sport and we have these goals and dreams in the sport, the classroom, or in life, they're not sacrifices. They're choices that we make to fulfill these goals and dreams."

January 1

Up until about 0200 at the New Year’s Eve party. 3 mile recovery run before brunch, then relaxed most of the rest of the day.

Race plan for the next 15 months or so is as follows:

4/12/2007 - McNaughton Park Trail Run 100 Mile race
TBA - Champaign County Perimeter Ride
8/30/2008 - UltraMidwest 6-Hour Time Trial
1/11/2009 (tentative) - Zoom! Yah! Yah! Indoor Marathon
3/29/2009 (tentative) - Bataan Memorial Death March Marathon (Heavyweight Division)

The next few months are going to be pretty grueling, to say the least, as I prep for McNaughton. Expect more running/training posts, and more vegan cookery.
