Brothers,
It's hard to believe we are down to our last two weeks of training. Last weekend was my last 20 mile run. It was humid and warm with high winds making the run challenging. I struggled with a sore glute muscle but got through it. I've taken some time off and things are improving. This weekend is a 13 miler so we will see how that goes.  Just 16 days till the start! Train well.

Getting Close

Hey brothers,

We are getting close and I can begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel! I have two long runs left, 15 this week which now feels short, 20 miles next week, 13 miles the following week, then 10 miles which will feel like a breeze!

This has been challenging due to the heat. It was 97 degrees yesterday when I ran and it is suppose to 105 degrees this weekend. I will have to run in the dark in order to survive which means getting up and 4 am.

I'm trying to raise more money, but it's not coming in as fast as I would like.

Talk to you soon brothers!

Finally Healthy

Well, it took awhile! Four weeks of lots of spinning and only a few runs to test the leg, only to find out it wasn't ready yet.

But now, I'm back in the groove. I lost a little speed, but today I ran 20 with next to no pain. I also didn't get as tired as I did last week. My goal was a 4:10 marathon. Now, I will just be trying to break 5 hours. Anything faster than 4:59 will be a personal best. We'll see how race day goes and what the weather's like. 

I'm excited to run this event with my brothers and my nephew. This will be a once in a lifetime experience! 

See you soon brothers!!
