Its been a few days since i’ve written anything, mainly because I’ve been traveling both Thursday and Friday. I kind of shorted my miles this week so far due to it, however did get a 20 miler in today, the first in a long time, and boy did I feel it! I ran the 20 miler in 2:57, which is a pretty good time considering the fact that my mind is not into running right now .. there are just other things to focus on right now that are more important, so this is kind of falling down on the list.

I’m not expecting to have a great time in Steamtown, I think it’ll just be a matter of getting through .. hopefully by the time we the Marine Corps Marathon later in October, things will have settled, or things will have at least been decided. I won’t go into detail as to what the issues are right now, but trust me, things suck right now.

More importantly is getting myself ready for the marathon … I feel that even though I struggled through the 20 miler today pretty good, I need to kick up the pace a little in order to get my fitness back, i’ve really lost it, I can feel it.

My plan for the blog is to start writing more, and providing valuable links to running stuff on the web .. whether it be other blogs, or articles I found interesting etc. I do a lot of reading on the web about these things and think that the blog is getting boring .. (or is it??) So maybe a chance is a good thing ….

So hopefully we’ll get out for 10 miles tomorrow to finish off the week at 55 miles … not a bad week, but I expected so much more. Maybe this week things will turn up for me and I can kick things up a notch .. I’m certainly praying for it .. well, ’nuff for now
