Well, we're a week out on the JV Allstars/Hercules Berzerkermode tour and I must say that I really love those guys. Great guys, great music. Traveling with friends definitely makes tour more fun. It's hard to believe that we get 3 more weeks of this!
Running has been going well. I'm running longer miles every other day, rather than trying to run 6 days a week. Jorge and I talked it over and that seems like the best idea for training specificity (since I'm training for a marathon) and it seems to be working well with my crazy schedule. Since we left I've done 15, 10, and 14 mile runs and seem to be handling it well. I hope to meet up with Barrett tomorrow for a 16-miler. Luckily I'm not at home because that 16 miles will be a lot easier to do in the 50 degree weather than it would in the 10 inches of snow that Nebraska is supposed to get. The only thing I'm worried about is having lower volume since I'm running less days a week, but if this keeps me in relatively good shape, I'll be ready for what Jorge is calling "bloody March" when I get home. I think that means it's going to be a tough month of training?
It has been great seeing friends that we've made on other tours, but I'm excited to get out of the Midwest and start making some new friends in the South!
