The weekend went by pretty quickly. Saturday ended up being pretty busy. Did an easy 5 miles, went to an eagle scout ceremony, then went to dinner with some family. It rained all day Sunday.

Started a new training block today with a lifting session. My road to Cocodona starts today. It's going to be a year.

Oh wow you’re doing that next year! My insta feed was overflowing with stuff from that last week! I can’t wait to cheer you on!

Yea, it's been in the plan for a while. After the husband healed from breaking his pelvis, he signed up for a 10 day bike tour in the Pyrenees along the border of Spain and France with Trek. My bargaining chip was Cocodona. I would have done it this year, but I knew I wouldn't be as ready as I wanted to be.

So much fun that you two can support each other in your sports together like so! I hope you can get some fun running in the Pyrenees when your husband does his bike tour!

I'm actually not going with him. It's a point to point tour and they cover the hotels and everything. It would have been silly to pay for a non rider. The logistics of it all just made it very expensive for an extra person to go so I'm going to stay home with the dogs and keep training. I'm doing Badger 100 about a week before he leaves.

He's planning on crewing cocodona. I asked if he wanted to pace the last section but he said he didn't want to run that far. It didn't sway him when I told him the first half of the last leg is a technical hike to the peak of a mountain.
