Just sitting here this morning thinkin about stuff. Already read the newspapers. I'm thinkin about how close the Boston Marathon is. This should be a very fun and exciting couple weeks. The week before and the week after Boston. A time to get syched and a time to celebrate. A time to be 49 and a time to be 50. This is my last week to be 49 years old. Turning 50 does not bother me at all. Not turning 50 would bother me.
When I look back at my training I feel like I have made some major strides with my running since the Chicago Marathon. I feel like I have learned a lot, about running and about myself.
I am a little excited to start full triathlon training after Boston. It will be time to put some bricks together. A bike ride then a run. A swim and then a bike. A swim then bike then run. Fun stuff. I look forward to getting that wetsuit and swimming in frigid Lake Michigan.
Yesterday I had a really good 6 mile marathon pace run. Of course, I ran it faster than my marathon pace goal but I've been doing that this whole training cycle. My objective in running them faster is that it may make my true MP seem easy.
Today is 1/2 marathon easy run. I may run the final few miles at MP.

" Beyond the very extreme of fatigue and distress, we may find amounts of ease and power we never dreamed ourselves to own, sources of strength never taxed at all because we never push through the obstruction."
* It takes courage to push yourself to places that you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” - Anais Nin
