In my hotbox of a garage.... sweatfest.

2 miles - neighborhood

I hooked up with my old highschool running partner today.  My wife was at work, so we ran around my hood for a couple of laps while my girls followed on their bikes.  It was nice to catch up and I hope to run with him again in the near future.

Sometimes all it takes is a question or two from a person above your ability level to make you run faster.  I was feeling it a bit more on this run tonight....

I had to cut this one short due to the downpour starting @ mile 3 of this run.  I also didn't want to wait three days for my shoes to dry.

My youngest had her soccer practice and I ran the paved path and trails that surround the complex.  My wife was watching the practice while I got lost exploring some new trails.  Good times!

The Plantar Faciitis is still with me, but I think that I've learned a couple of things to somewhat ease the pain.  Thanks for leading me to the information Bam!

I was feeling really good today, but the unknown has been weighing on me lately.  Going into my first marathon I really have zero strategy.  Do I go out slow and assess how I feel a couple of miles in?  Do I try and run 26.2 miles at an even consistent pace?  I have no idea! 

Maybe I should just run and see how it goes..... that would be a novel idea!  The only way to really learn is by making mistakes I guess.

I woke up a little sluggish this morning.  It rained all day yesterday and just felt raw outside today.  At 9am I watched Maggie, my oldest daughter, score two goals in her soccer game!  I feel extremely proud and lucky to have two amazingly talented and beautiful children. 

Paige loving the new Keyboard!

I liked this shot of Maggie too.
