The Finish

"In running, it doesn't matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say, ' I have finished.' There is a lot of satisfaction in that." - Fred Lebow

I'm stickin' to the goals. Adding my mileage. Feeling strong. I CAN finish.

It's all good.

Oh Life

It always gets in the way. This weekend was tough. I added a mile to my run, which was good. But bad new surrounded me, as an aquaintence passed away from cancer on Saturday. And a good friend is beginning a trial tomorrow to fight for his life from pancreatic cancer. I'm a little down, thinking how lucky I am to be feeling so good right now, and there are people I know...my age...dying from CANCER. Tonight I took off. Just not into the work out right now.

God Bless John. A man I knew briefly, but followed his accomplishments and story in the local papers. God Bless Ed. FIGHT BUDDY. NEVER GIVE UP. DON'T EVER GIVE UP.
I'm lucky to know them both.

Motivation

My boss surprised me with a training log today when arrived at work. Thanks Steve! I just wish I had all the time in the world to train! So I'm going to start writing my workouts down in the log and keep up with the blog as well.

Motivation, Motivation, Motivation....my weight is down, my cardio is good, my speed sucks. I'm slow as molassas in this very cold Northeast section of our great state.....ah well...

it's all good.

Feelin' great

Ran outside all week w/ cold weather gear. Feeling great and keeping up with training. A nice short run today was just perfect. Tomorrow i'm gonna get in a bike ride and a short run after. My goal is to start increasing the miles, at least 1 a week.

it's all good.
