Longest yet....

  Today, a beautiful day, I put 83 minutes in on the road!!! My longest run yet this year!!! I am still taking this whole rebuilding thing seriously. I do not want the dreaded Achilles tendinitis back!
  So a gradual build has been the process. This week is a build week with a race slated for Saturday. Today I had to hold back and keep a slow base pace. Tomorrow will be Fartlek fun!! Wednesday some easy miles, Thursday a couple MP miles, then Saturday I will race!!! I plan on a gut busting, all out effort. The course is new,but it's not a PR course by any means. Then next week will be a recovery week.
  If I should break 24 this Saturday I will begin training for a 10K will a specific time to achieve. We will see! Peace!

Still building

So, it has been really fantastic weather! I have been on vacation and we had a great time down in Arkansas (if you can believe that,lol) Sandy and I celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary in Mountain View AR. This little town is called the Folk Music Capitol of the World. We enjoyed listening to the musicians on the public square. Really cool, and Ozarkian! We also spent two days in a secluded cabin and had a wonderful time.....we enjoy each others company, I will say to get to 29 years has taken some work but the truth is that love endures all!
Today I upped the time by one measly minute to 22 minutes total, leg/foot felt pretty good, sweating felt great! I still have hopes of running full tilt again and breaking the four hour mark in the marathon. I want them to put on my tombstone-He did it but it wasn't easy! Nah, maybe I'll think of something else...any ideas? Have a good one! Peace
