On The Road Again (John's voice)

   Well I finally got moved into our new house and unpacked and now I truly can focus on training for this big run in January. Adela and I finished moving  and it couldn't have come soon enough. It really does mess-up staying on schedule to do what you need to do, as far as, training when finding everything you packed must be done first.  However, the peacefulness of the new neighborhood and the convenience of everything we need will help get me back on track for completing this upcoming race in my goal of under four hours.

 

     Yes my training is back and the runs feel great.  I did two weeks of about twenty five mile spread out over five to six days with a couple of days off in between.  The cross training did take a little break since we had to switch gyms, I like the old gym better, but I'm not driving twenty minutes when I can walk to this one.  The runs have varied from a quick three to up to nine on my long day.  Lots of runs at night after work at Memorial and nothing motivates me more then running with a couple hundred friends probably training for the same thing event as me.  You see all shape, sizes and  fitness levels at the park and it really does help push me when I don't feel like running.

 

    So the plan is to get up to thirty miles this week and I get my long run partner back in the process.  My wife.  She had an injury to her knee and she was shelved.  I look forward to this ten miler on Friday, hope that's not to far partner, but it needs to be done.  And I could use her coaching.  Keep Running!
