En-route to Chuckanut

So the training has begun for my first ultra in almost a year a half. The training runs are still short but are coming along quite nicely. Coach Noa has been keep a watchful eye on my progress to ensure everything goes smoothly (this is why she is a wicked coach!). The body is feeling good. No real glute problems anymore which I believe it contributed to a healthy diet of yoga and Dr. Salmon digging her fingers into me a couple times a week. I haven't really chat with anybody about what to expect at Chuckanut other than it is a very runnable course at the beginning and at the end with the mountain running in the middle.

I have been feeling really inspired lately. For reasons I can't really explain other than I wanna complete the races I set out a few years ago to complete. Western States and Badwater, primarily. I was cruising on youtube the other night watching some footage from Western states and came across this video. What I was impressed by was look at Geoff Roes pace that he is running at (remember he has just ran 158km, climbed some 15 thousand feet and descended another 22 thousand).
