Learning to Fly - Training for a 100 Mile Trail Run (while enjoying Pink Floyd)

Successfully completing a 100 mile trail run has been a goal since 1998. Each year I have attempted to run one and have fallen short. As an experiment of one, I'm recording my training and hoping that it will eventually document the successful completion of a 100 mile trailrace.

Great day for a run! Blue skies, cooler temps, my favorite partner at my side. We covered the Ernst Trail at a leisurely pace alternating six minutes of running with two minutes of walking. The chipmunks were out in abundance. First run of this sort since blowing my right hamstring out in late May.
