I used to dislike hills so much, I remember my first marathon. (Big Sur) and days before driving the course. Very hilly course as it’s a point to pint on hey one in California.

No matter what you cannot escape hills they are already me in…

As the month is coming to a close I look back and I am not far off the 2019 goal. I need around 169 miles a month to hit the goal and is average of 6 miles a day and 42 miles a week. The great thing is I am close to the goal taking rest days off during week and running only 5 to 6 days a week. That is awesome means longer quality miles.

Here is loose training schedule for next 16 weeks
