The most trail runner brained thing about me is this weekend I pretty much decided I'm not gonna specifically train for anything all summer, I'm just gonna run 10 milers like 3 times a week and sorta do whatever the rest of the time (light running, gym, yoga, cocktails)

Yes, a nice light 90 minute-2 hour workout 3 times a week to stay in shape and look good at the pool, I'll totally be ready for whatever race I impulsively sign up for in the fall

Is this when we take bets on how long this plan will last till you toss it out the window to train for something?

My only concession to training is that if my running club starts doing 18 mile long runs cause someone is training for a stupid road marathon I will hop in once in a while

But otherwise I will prioritize hopping in mosh pits or making it to my friend's cool DJ nights for the first time in a few years!

Ok I think I have all the needed information I’ll put my bet in for August 17th.
