We are now 16 weeks out from my first 100 Mile ultra marathon in Auburn California. I am pumped to be running the Canyons Endurance race on a large portion of the Western States Trail.

It has been 3 weeks since my backyard ultra where I ran 52 miles and came down with a little bit of knee pain that I later found out was runners knee. We didnt have a chance to check in last week with Christmas so I want to fill you in on how I have been handling the runners knee and how Ive treated it over the last 3 weeks to be virtually pain free today, even after running 17 miles this am.

We will look at the next week of training and how Im handling a 54 mile training week with a 4 day trip out of the country with not a lot of running options while Im away.

Lastly we will talk about another 100 mile race that I signed up for today and will be doing in the fall as well as some races that I am crewing!
