Western States 100-miler: Here comes Shavi!

We had been waiting for this and it is going to happen this year!!! Shavi will be running yet another 100-miler which he has been dreaming of since a few years: Western States on June 28-29, 2014. It is going to be exciting. With the newborn at home, training hasn't been easy for him but it is now time to be pumped up since he has a lot races lined up (as training runs) before the big one. This time, it will not be as easy as it was for his last 100-miler but we will get through this together with all the enthusiasm:)

The first big race is this weekend. It is only 50K (now I say "only" with 50K), equivalent to 31 miles: Way Too Cool. The list of his races has been growing:

1. Way Too Cool 50K on March 8, 2014
2. AR 50M on April 5, 2014
3. Mokelumne River 50M on April 19, 2014 (his first time doing this)
4. Miners Revenge 26.2M on April 28, 2014 (his first time doing this - the race is new as well)
5. Canyons 50K on May 3, 2014 (his first time doing this)
6. Gold Rush 100K on May 2014
7. Silver State 50M on May 17, 2014
8. Western States training runs from May 24-26, 2014

And from here on will start his taper weeks for the big race. Getting anxious and excited already!!
