New Trail Running VLOG documenting my 14-Week preparation for the VT100, July 21st 2018. Not very exciting but will work on improvements for Week 2.

Week 1 (Monday April 16 - 22):

Monday: 6 miles. Still snow on the roads. Tuesday: 6 miles followed by Run Strong (1 hr of Strength and Conditioning). Wednesday: AM: 4 miles PM: 4 miles. Once a week I'll be doing 2-a-days.Thursday: 9 miles. Commute to Run Strong (1 hr of Strength and Conditioning). Friday: 4 miles (easy run with Hilary & Squall)Saturday: 17 miles. Tough run and nervous to not bring any gels. Spent the morning skiing in Randolph so legs weren't exactly fresh.Sunday: ZERO miles. Ski tour in the Northern Presidentials. It was a beautiful day in the high alpine as we skied over 6k vert and made it over toward Mount Jefferson. Today was supposed to have a 6-9 mile run but that went out the window. As much as I would have liked to run, I'm still building mileage and skiing trumps all. 

Total Miles: 50 // 4,921'
