Hello Again

Been a little busy.
Life is Nuts

My weight is about 8 pounds heavy.
My runs are about 15 seconds per mile slower.
My trip to the Poconos is in Jepordy.
My Motorcycle obsession is mostly gone.
My dizziness is mostly gone, MRI results pending.
Work life is Crazy, we are getting corporate "help" and that is always a dangerous thing!
My runs have been mostly 4-5 miles which is ok for fitness, not so ok for Marathon training. I am a little worried that I have not put in the miles.

This weekend will be a 20 miler without question.
I have chub rub, which is the irritating 8 pounds that I can not seem to let go!

164 today, Looking for a 1/2 lb per day reduction. Very doable!

A little closer to mentally stable

Well today I tipped the scales at 161.5 which is about 5 pounds heavy for marathon for me. I felt a little smell of resolve about me as I went about my morning. I felt today like I could in fact go the distance, even though I have not run yet today. I think it is the fact that I broke 40 minutes in a downpour yesterday on my 4.3 mile run. You can do the math and see that I am not fast, however I may become faster with some work.

I have made a point to seek out a friend of mine who will coach me through the Steamtown Marathon and through the February Pensacola Marathon. Hopefully by the time I run Steamtown I will have been accepted to Run for Research Team and will participate in the Boston Marathon. I might one day actually qualify, but for now I need to be content with “fundraising” my way in. We’ll see.

Anyhow, I would like to run 8 tonight, but the fact that Joshua Never is going to sleep until 9:30 or 10:00 is making it ever more difficult to Run in the PM. I am considering shifting the whole schedule to become a morning runner. I can start each day at 3 am and go from there I suppose.

Soaking wet 4.3 miles in Heavy Rain 39:50, Nice.

Be well and God Bless,Curtai

Running in The Rain

Running in the gutter and heavy Florida Rain and still 39:50 under 40 mins is good. I may be making a comback. I need to do a long run soon, perhaps one morning this week, perhaps Friday Morning!

Sounds like Fun 20 Miles here I come again!
