Hi brothers, Jana and I are on our way up to Yosemite where we will drop off Karys and her cousin at a week long summer camp. Then Jana and I are off to Carmel along the ocean for 3 nights. Then we'll drive down the coast a bit and stop in another coastal town called Avila Beach to see a childhood friend of Jana's. We'll arrive home late Thursday, be home for a few days and then fly out to Chicago.
Needless to say, the training will be a little bit tougher during these next days with all the traveling. I've brought my running gear and will run a few times this week and I will be back at home for my first 20 miler next Saturday.
Training is going well. I am quite sure I am in better running shape this year and I will have to see if that correlates to a good marathon. By the way, went to Road Runner sports and picked up some GU for my long runs. You have got to try the new flavor called Salted Carmel. It is absolutely delicious. It's good enough to eat as a snack at any time! Back to training--Ran 17 miles on Saturday. This program has me running high mileage much earlier in the program, but still running fewer times per week. Feel good so far. I downloaded lots of audio books and some fantastic sermons/messages to listen to on my runs. This has made my runs much more enjoyable as well. I've already listened to two audio books and hours of messages by a great preacher named Bill Liversidge. He's an Australian now living in Palm Springs with a great accent and great sense of humor.
Today is a day off to drop off Karys and travel to Carmel. Looking forward to these next few days.
Love you brothers!
