Birkie time

I'm back.

Back to blogging (although I have been all along here).
Back to running (although I have been doing a lot more skiing recently).
I guess that's it. ;)

What started as a tipsy admission ("I want to ski the Birkie someday!") ended up intriguing my friend Elizabeth, and somehow we decided to register for the ultimate ski ultramarathon. 54 kilometers. 33.55 miles. 17 days from today. YIKES.

Here has been my training plan thus far. I've followed it less than religiously, and we've had our share of challenges already, but I'm motivated to keep pressing on.

Race day should be magical, as long as we don't kill ourselves. It could take us quite a long time to finish, but I'm okay with that as long as we're having a blast (and there's a burger and a beer waiting for us at the end).

I'll fill you in as my training continues to progress.
