Done and in the BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ram my first marathon today I finished in 4 hours 38 minutes and 50 seconds notto shabby for my first one......... Now I start training forthe NYC Marathon!!!

The training is OVER!

Now the work begins. I have completed about 100 training runs to get ready for the marathon. I know it will be fun and on 10/19/10 Starts the training for the NYCM. I hope I get a lottery draw. I cant wait to go to fit fest on Saturday, the looks on the faces of those at the NMCCF when I give them the 800.00 I raised will be well worth the running on Sunday. To all my friends and family who are supporting me I say thank you to you all!!!!!

5 .......................

Woo hooo................ 5 more days and counting tonight was the last hard run before the marathon. Tomorrow will be a easy night and then a jog on Thursday. Rest on Friday and Saturday before the big run!

6 MORE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good gravy batman, there are only 6 days left. Tonight was a nice run 50 minutes I can tell my stride is changing the last few weeks. I am running the same speed but my pace is faster so I have to keep slowing down a little. That's a good thing. So after the marathon the next runs will be the Inaugural Great Prostate Cancer Challenge. Then the Vets Day 11k and in December will be the Faralitos Run. As of January 1 I will start training for hopefully the NYC Marathon. Gotta keep my fingers crossed for a lottery drawing for that one. More to follow!
