Marathon Maniac #957
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!

Good morning everyone I With Sundays run I ended up with a surprising 50 miles for the week, and some good cycling too. The only reason I could run 50 miles so soon is, I have slowed waaaay down which allows me to run more miles without much stress really.

Slo-Hand, I predict you're going to pay for that one! (Love the picture!) Sleep in day for me, recovering from yesterday's "spirited" 20 miler. I need this one day a week to sleep in. Somehow I need to figure out how to get another day's running in (an MLR preferably) while maintaining all the cross-training days (and my sleep in day!) Hmmmm ..... Bill
Diverdoc, Ooohhh! A mini-Shamrock report! THANKS! It's my target race next spring. So, I've finally decided to commit to a plan for my fall marathon. I'm going with Matt Fitzgerald's Level 1 Marathon plan in Brain Training for Runners. I wanted to do Level 2, but decided I'll pick that up after the Nov. marathon and use it to get ready for Shamrock. I found the book interesting, but it was when he broke down his shoe advice, I decided that he might really be the "coach" for me. He manged to see the whole spectrum of possibility out there and distilled it into 4 bullet points. That really appealed to me. Anyway, this means that once I'm done my 10K in May I have two weeks of fartin' around time before I begin his training (24 week program that I have to stretch to 25 weeks 'cause of travel). Two weeks of rest in May at the beach. Darn my life is rough. (It'll likely rain for 2 weeks....)
