1/2 Marathon complete !!

We fiinally got up to 13.2 miles yesterday! Did it in 3hr45" which means we need to speed up a little, but it's good progress - training during the week is really paying off now.. K.M.F...

How do you get up @ 5:30 ?

....well I had some help this morning!! (My DW pushed me out of bed :D ) Did some nice quick laps this morning... 1) 14"30' 2) 13"05' 3) 12"20' 4) 12"01' ...even thought about doing a 5th lap (then thought better of it!!) It feels good once I'm finally on the road, but it's darned hard getting up!

OMG it's hot !!!

The long walk this week was tough (with a capital T).... Incredibly humid as we started out, then as it warmed up we did too...we had to take on much more fluid than usual, but at least we still got 11 miles done. I've noticed that the recovery time has improved also... the first time we walked it took all week to recover!! K.M.F....

Energize!

Did my long distance solo this weekend as my DW is away on business .... but I did manage to get 10 laps done in 2h 45"00' (12 miles) which I was very pleased about... my knees certainly know they've been running !! I'm currently following the 5 min walk / 1 min run training method which is recommended for Marathon training.... seems to work well for me so far :) "K.M.F...."
