Ok, it has been awhile, and I have missed communicating and telling you about my life , especially as it concerns my training for the races. I think allot of it spills over to my life and changes and affects the path that I am on.
Since it has been a couple of months since my last entry, don't worry I won't bore you with many details of those days. It goes without saying that we have dodge the bullet with about four tropical storms or hurricanes in our area. I have done a couple of small races 5K's specifically and I went to Los Angeles to do the Disneyland Half Marathon. The trip out there was fun, I went with my friend , Barbara. Thank you for showing me the sights out there. The race was spectacular it went through both Disneyland and California Adventure. It was fun , and I not only got the Disneyland," The Happiest Race " castle medal, I also got a medal for doing the full marathon in Disney World and going cross country to do the half marathon in Disneyland. This was the first year that was being done. Although, I enjoyed the trip southern California is not a place I will soon return to.
The weekly training has been going well, although it got disrupted with my trip and then the approaching Ike. I miss going out early in the morning but hopefully the routine will soon be in place again. Nothing really exciting to report on that front, all the players, Nancy, Rita, and all cast of characters,Kevin, 6, clapper guy , etc are all doing well.
Yesterday in our training we did 16 miles. By the time we were heading back I kept thinking I can't do another 10 miles to do a full marathon. Well the heat and humidity must have gotten the best of me , because I know that I can and I will do it. I have done it before. In the afternoon , I was fortunate to be able to attend a running school held by Jeff Galloway. He is my hero and because of him and his books had I attempted to train last year. He was such an inspiration and I learned allot of new information that I could use in my training. I COULD LOSE WEIGHT DURING TRAINING. I WOULD NOT HURT MYSELF IF I INCLUDED SOME RUNNING WITH MY WALKING. And he gave me some insight on how to do prepare for the Goofy Challenge in January.
It was a great time spent with someone I have looked up to for awhile now. The training is going well though. Steady , if not exciting. Now I plan to make it exciting too. I am working on a new training schedule for the coming weeks. I have not lost any weight during this period, and I have walked an average of 20-30 miles per week. The grand total of miles done is 579.34. I hope to be in contact soon again. The picture of the sunrise was take before the Fireman's Challenge 5K in Hollywood last weekend. It reminded me that all things can and sometime do start all over again.
Peace.
