Wow!!! What an experience that was!!! I just had the most enjoyable 3 hours and 50 minutes of running that I have ever had….. and coming from someone that pretty much enjoys every run he does, that is saying a lot! Let me get you all caught up on the trip. If you don’t want [...]
When will I learn?
This morning I ran 20 miles, starting at 4:30 am. I finished this week with 58 miles of running, and I only have 4.5 weeks left before the San Francisco Marathon. I’m starting to get excited!!! If you want to see any of my outdoor runs this week, just click on any of the runs [...]
The Chicago Marathon (with pictures)
I don’t even know where to begin…. What an experience… you really need a few days to decompress when you put yourself through such an emotional experience as the marathon, but I have decided to start blogging about it, because I know most of you want to know how it went for me. Just to [...]
