I'm in. The LA will be iffy w a baby due Nov 1. But I'll keep up w training and at least do a self-marathon Jan 20. If I can get an in-law over then I'll do it and go see bro in LA.

Status:
After being totally sidelined w a knee injury etc, I've been running again for right at a year.

I'm up to 18 miles (slow). 24-hour record is 27 miles. Those are hot, humid and hilly, so I feel decent about a January marathon if I keep up current training arc.

Pre-excuses:
I'm still tweaking my fuel system with fat adaptation. And want to make sure I avoid another knee issue. Never had surgery (PT-diagnosed meniscus tear but never got MRI).

I'll start formulating a training plan tonight. I'm doing the MT Snowbowl 15k August 4. 2200 ft straight up (and then same back down). So I need to account for that.

awesome

I'm taking the week off from all training (I've got a few minor things going on right now), but plan to start pretty heavy next week.

As of right now, my weekly schedule will be:

M: Crossfit
T: Tempo run
W: Crossfit
T: Tempo
F: Sprints and/or Crossfit
S: Off
S: Long

Crossfit has lots of sprints in their workouts, so if I do sprints on M or W, I'll just do Crossfit/Oly on Friday instead of sprints.
