Today’s workout was 36 minutes walk/trot on the treadmill. Ankle feels like nothing ever happened last weekend.
A few minutes doing sumo squats, lunges – both with 30 pounds of dumbbells.
3 sets of hanging leg raises.
15 minutes of elliptical.
I think that I have a plan ready to start 50K training.
But I am not sure when I want to start it up.
Yes, I am totally obsessed with reading and rereading everything online about 50Ks and ultras. There was one blog in particular that I read 3 times this week about one local 50 mile race. I have also listened to a few podcasts, 2 of them more then once!
Obsessed.
Anyways. I don’t know when to “officially” start training.
Go all of November and December with building strength and muscle doing weights and elliptical?

| Schedule from Santa Clarita Runners |
Or start plodding through the miles in a week or two, with extra time to train on the long Thanksgiving weekend?

| Suggestion from UltraLadies |
I really don’t wanna do a 16 mile next weekend. Maybe I will modify both the plans above into a final plan. Shizit is getting scary looking at those 26 mile Saturdays!
While I don’t have a goal time for finishing before I have started, it is always fun to see how long it may or may not take me. Based on my last half marathon time.

Anyways, that is what I am thinking about today.
I just wanna thank all of you on Twitter. I can’t believe I am at almost 400 followers! I <3 you all!
Do I follow you on Twitter? If I don’t lemme know and I will.
How do you decide on a training plan?
