I also found out I was selected to be a member of Powerbar Team Elite! This is my very first sponsorship and I'm very excited to be working with them! They are a great company with great product that I've been using since my 4th marathon.

I have to brag a little about my training group too. They are just finishing their sixth week of training for a half or full marathon. They are blowing me out of the water with their strength! Wednesday night they had a set of 4x800 to run and everyone of them exceeded my expectations. Then they crushed their long run yesterday on a hillier course than we usually run. Can't wait until these athletes get to race in May!

MTD: 228.4

Week 5

Nothing too fantastic this week. Missed my LR this morning due to weather/being out late last night. Total of 50 miles. I did manage to get in a solid tempo run Friday (8 miles @ 6:23). Going to rest well today and hit it hard next week.
