One....more.....week

It has felt like AGES since I have raced last.  Luckily, I don't have too much longer to wait.  First, I want to say sorry for not posting last week.  I have been crazy busy with training and working lately and last week I just needed to take a break.

But the training has been going really well lately.  It's hard to really tell where I'm at until I race for the first time, but I'm thinking I'm in good shape at the moment.  Over the past two weeks we have tested our 800 and mile fitness while still maintaining our strength work on the track and the weight sessions in the gym.

For those of you that haven't read some of my latest posts, I'll be opening up at Penn Relays on the 26th.  I plan on racing the Open Mile which will be a great test to see where I'm at physically.  In other news....you may or may not have heard that Hoka One One has made a big announcement in the past week.  I'm happy to welcome 2012 Olympic Silver Medalist Leo Manzano to the Hoka family!  I don't know Leo very well but the little that I've talked to him, I know that Hoka has made a great choice in bringing Leo on board.  Although we will be competitors when we step on the track, I'm excited to have Leo wearing the same uniform that I am.

As we get closer to Penn, I'll back off some of my workouts, but I plan on keeping my mileage high through that meet because I'm not trying to peak anytime soon!  Here is my training for the past TWO weeks....thanks guys!
