Day 46 REST DAY for Marathon Training.
Oh wow. this really is a super cut back week. If I had not had such a problem last Friday…this would have been my first rest day in 45 days. But alas, last Friday I could not move, so, this is just a mundane rest day. resisting the urge to feel like Spartacus. And yes, …
Day 45 Marathon training Still Injured.
Today would have been a 3 mile run easy. It is a rest week after all. So What did I do… Well actually, I kind of got up late, was late to meet my friend, and Pool Ran for 36 minutes which is definitely more than the time I would have been running. I used …

Marathon Training Day 41
Less Crash and Burn today. Admittedly, I was just not feeling 100% great last night, and I stayed up a little later than normal watching some television. I woke up when my friend Janice texted me asking when we were going to run tomorrow. I wanted to sleep some more, but really once I’m awake, …
Marathon Training Day 40. Crash and Burn

Marathon Training Day 39
What a Bizarre Day. The schedule said swim or spin 1 hour 20 minutes and do some weights. I was totally down with that. In the morning though, I was down with getting a bit more sleep. Yesterday I was the guest speaker at a collaborative meeting for Infection prevention in downtown Orlando, so I …
