It's been a while... Gotta get better at this blogging thing.
Wow, my last post was way back before Salem Lake. Yikes. So to quickly catch up, I ran a great Salem Lake race (one of my favorite races in the area), followed it up with a solid Atlanta Marathon (holy hills, Batman!) and indeed signed up for and am almost ready to run the 2013 Boston Marathon! Aside from a few remaining creaks and aches and pains that undoubtedly come from both recovering from injury while continuing to train for marathons, and approaching one's mid 30s, I'm feeling pretty darn good. I've been blessed to be nailing my long runs and have been better at being disciplined enough to make my easy runs a truly easy effort. "The Trial of Miles; Miles of Trials" and such. I've only got 3 more really long runs left (2x20miles and 1x22 miles) prior to Boston, and I can't wait! A short post today, but I'll try to do them more regularly...perhaps once every 1 to 2 weeks. It's rough trying to live up to the soaring heights established by the great Running Down and Barefoot Josh though!
"“Running to him was real; the way he did it the realest thing he knew.
It was all joy and woe, hard as a diamond; it made him weary beyond
comprehension. But it also made him free.”
