Got 3 miles of goal marathon pace or better. I eased into it then cooled down for 3 miles. I am really focused on a good PR at the end of the summer in the Marathon.  I feel I am on my way if I can stay healthy this time around.  I have changed some habits that should make staying healthy a lot easier.  All that being said there is so much unknown ahead for the next 4 months, but I am excited.  

In the long term I also feel that I am refocused and rededicated to reaching my loftier goals.  I am looking forward to the future.

I was cruising along when i fell victim to the asphalt monster. I took a pretty bad spill transitioning from the shoulder to the side walk. Rolled the left ankle pretty bad. Luckily a driver saw me and lent me their phone. I limped to a corner and waited for my wife. Hopefully it's not too bad.

First miles since I fell last Wednesday night.  Wanted to test it out by running a few fast miles and everything felt ok.  I think I should be able to get right back into it.  I may have been able to run on Saturday, but decided to be catious, and I am glad I was.

After the nightmare that was the last two weeks, I think I will get back on track.  I have to feel out my new work schedule, but I will find time for running.

First things first.  The injury still isn't  100 percent, but that isnt what has been keeping me from running.  The culprit there is a new job.  Every time my schedule goes through a significant change I stop running, until I feel like I have everything under control.  Realizing this, my only goal this week (as it has been a couple other times), is to run every day.  I hope that by working this into my routine I will be able to get back to running every day, and get my fitness back.  Anyways, that is that.
