Today was a trial to see if I could do some speed work at the health club. It went really well. I can still feel a little discomfort in the calf muscle but it is definitely getting better! I did 4x400 repeats at 6:35 pace on the treadmill. Hope you have great day brothers and get running!

I ran yesterday for the first time in a week due to a sore calf muscle. I've been stretching it and icing. It was a little better during the run but I only went 4.5 miles. Today was a biking day and I was up around 5 am to get an early start. I was able to get 21 miles in. It was a good work out and gave the calf a rest. I'm gonna try running tomorrow and see how it feels. I've gotta get this healed so I can be on track for the beginning if the 16 weeks of marathon training.

Sitting at Mission Bay, San Diego today for Memorial Day weekend. Absolutely gorgeous morning. Got up early and left home at 6 am to grab a spot for the family. Well worth getting up early. It was calm and peaceful. Sitting here and taking in the sites. I am so blessed to live near such a beautiful area!
I will not be running today, but the running is going much better. I hope I can stay in good health. Friday I ran 5 miles. Some miles were between 8 and half and 9 minute miles. I hope I can keep this up.
As I look forward to October, it feels like running the marathon is going to make this year go fast. October through December is my favorite part of the year and this year it will be extra special.
I will run tomorrow. Going to run between 7 and 8. I'll see how it goes.
Have a great day brothers--if you are reading!

Good Morning World!
I haven't written for awhile. I just got too busy!! I couldn't run for the last two days due to my crazy schedule. That's the bad news.
The good news is my runs on Sunday and Wednesday were virtually pain free!!! Ran 5 miles on both days and felt pretty good. Granted I wasn't as speedy as my older brother but I felt good. The miles came fairly easy and if it weren't for the big hill I run at the beginning, I could have averaged 9:30 minute miles which will be my target time for the marathon.
Let me say this today: I am thankful for my life. God has been good and I am thankful for my wife. I am thrilled to have this opportunity to run this race with my brothers. This could be a once in a life time opportunity, but I hope we can come up with more events to do together!!
More to come--the real training starts in late June--got to be ready!

Well its a new week and I will have to see how I feel this week. Working on the piriformis pain. Trying to work it out. See chiropractor again this week. It is great staying in touch with my brothers. This is going to be cool. I ran for near a total of 18 miles last week. I will have to try to step up the miles a little more this week. Unfortunately, it is going to be a very hot week. Thursday it is suppose to be 102 degrees!! Ugh!!

I have begun my pre-training. Things are moving kind of slow right now. My pace is somewhere between 10 and 10 and half minutes. Some aches and pains. My lower back has been bothering me since December and it constantly is getting stiff when I sit for a long time. I also have this weird pain in my right buttocks--not sure what that is from and wondering if I should take a little time off to see if it goes away. It doesn't seem to bother me while I'm running but bothers me more when I'm walking.
I'm going to follow the plan of Run Less Run Faster. It is rigorous, but seems like a good plan, but sometimes life gets in the way. Yesterday I was going to spin but ending up showing homes to a buyer and didn't get home until 7 pm and was too tired to think about spinning.
Looking forward to this experience with my brothers. Hope we can all stay healthy.
