training day number sixty-four

as i walked into the office from the parking lot, i had two short conversations about fitness. these conversations were not initiated by me. my guess is folks are impressed by my continued progress with my training. i used to get a few questions now and then but now it comes up with most everyone i talk to. that must mean i am helping others think about their personal goals. how cool is that?

yesterday i did the beer run with ben and neela. afterwards their wives and kids came with dinner and it was a fun evening. maybe my boo will join us next week and we can have dinner there too. i consider this a fun run but it counts for another 4 miles for the week. plus we run it as fast as they can go.

today's run was good training. it was 8 miles but i was relaxed and focused on running with good form and breathing well. i got up at 5:00 am tired but determined to have enough time to run at a pace slower than we ran yesterday. i definitely get the runner's high these days. i'm looking forward to the marathon and at this point i feel i will finish even if i am crawling across the finish line.
