Training up for Sylaward Trail...

Joe Castleberry and I have made running a half-marathon a challenge. Each week we are to one-up each other by doing a longer and longer weekend run until we are up to half marathon length. This past week we both made runs of  7+ miles. I made both a 6 mile and 7 mile run along with many miles on a bike. I'll continue to cross train this way. I expect my bike miles to go up quickly. I could use some weight loss to speed my running. Anyway it looks like I am on my way to achieve my goal of running the Sylaward. At the present rate of adding miles, I'll be there in 7 weeks. Then if I can continue the process, I perhaps can make that goal for the Cheaha 50k.
