Century training plan

[jennyrc]

Thank you so much everyone for all the advice and encouragement!

One thing I really like about this MS ride is the flexibility they have this year (previously it was 60 miles each day, no options). My goal will be 110, but I'm not going to push myself to the point where I can't walk or need surgery, etc. (I'm committed to this ride, but I will not have a problem if I have to tell people down the road that instead of the 110 I did 50 (or even just 25) - no one's going to care, their money will still go to a good cause)

As far as the running, I should clarify a little more - I plan on doing a half marathon if I'm able to train the amount I feel is necessary. After all, we all need cross training to go with our biking! The half marathon half an hour from where I llive, and on a flat course, so I won't have any travel plans, etc, invested in this and I plan on making biking the priority for the summer. The run is supposed to be an easy half marathon, no intense Equinox (one of the more intense Alaskan marathons), so I don't think it will be a problem.

Thanks again for the encouragement. I'm excited to get this started

Jenny - it all sounds great and I think you will have an awesome time! I wasn't trying to pull you back, just trying to say how important it is to listen to our bodies. They can do amazing things

I am shooting for a century in September myself, and am also learning how to mountain bike this summer so we can cheer each other on!
