A friend recently asked me about training for the MS150. I'm not one to follow a training schedule very strictly. I didn't know what to tell her. I decided to google "training for the MS150" and see if anything came up. Google did not let me down :-) It never does! What did we do without Google (and YouTube how-to-videos)? :-) I found this site about a free training plan for people registered for the MS150. Here's the link. Check it out!

You can also find other training plans that people have posted. Most of them seem a lot more intense than anything I've ever done! The people who follow those plans probably finish faster and are less sore than me too LOL Either way, it's a lot of fun! Remember, there are rest stops about every 10 miles and there are support vehicles and cell phones everywhere! It's all good. Oh yeah, and did I mention the massage at the end? Yep. I love this event :-)
