Yes, it has been a long time and a lot of things have happened in my world and in the whole world. Too many things to dwell on , but I want to update and tell you that next Sunday November 16 , I go for my second marathon. I will travel to San Antonio and hope to have a great time, since 30,000 people have signed up for it. I will be traveling with my friend, Barbara, who after many trails and tribulations seems to be ready to tackle the 1/2 marathon there. Dennis who will be trying to do his first marathon and about 40 -50 folks from my training group, FIT.
I have been training and am doing well. I started to incorporate some running in there and on my birthday did a PR for myself. Yesterday on Nancy's birthday eve, we did another PR for each of us. I think we are well on track to do a PR at the Palm Beach 1/2 Marathon. And good luck , Nancy on the 13.1 race next Sunday too.
I have trained and I have traveled. I went to see fall in the smokies with mom and Barbara. It was a beautiful time and the picture is from the road I trained while I was there. I also did the Everest Challenge where I was not only inspired by Jamie Clarke, but also had a very good time doing the race , obstacle course and scavenger hunt.
I have done almost 800 miles in training since this season started only a few shorts months ago, I have lost over 20 pounds and I look forward to each days challenges since I now consider myself an adventurer.
Wish us luck, and heehaw y'all.
