15 miles w/13.1 @ MP. A good workout. That's all that happened today.
Long hard efforts are the best marathon prep according to coach Addie
Went out for a run and came back to a missing husband. The motherfucker had gone out to run, 4.65 miles at that. I am looking at him now like Grumpy Bugsy. Last time he waited 14 days to run, now 10. I quit.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

5 easy miles. I made the mistake of going to Costco this morning. The guy in front of me had me cracking up--older guy, ex-military. Asked the cashiers how they could work there without killing someone. Said he applied years ago when it was Price Club and said he would only work nights because he didn't want to deal with people. Yea, that about sums up Costco on a Saturday morning.
Good to know that even if I had a good day, I would not have placed. In the M50-59 category, 3rd place ran a 1:24. Fast field.

Nice workout. 26.2 km on purpose?
Thanks. It was hard. Didn't notice the 26.2. I very seldom look at my mileage when I get home. I usually just have an idea (+- 1 km) of what I did. Funny you noticed that
So, 1,451 feet of elevation gain is a lot, right? Because it felt like ALL of the f’ing hills were in my way today.
15 miles on the scenic loop through Red Rock Canyon. Absolutely gorgeous and the hardest run ever for me. I’ve never been there before and have no trail experience so it seemed smart to stick with the road today. Next time I will explore a little more now that I know what to expect.
D - I'm glad he's feeling well enough to run, but that's pushing it. Nice he can recover that quickly.
Not really. 14 days last time was for a tumor 3 times this size, so I checked with the surgeon before we left the hospital and it was OK for him to run even right after surgery, depending on how he felt. I just didn't tell him.
