14 early miles today, a new season high for me!! I'm going to start working more on my endurance. Nothing too fast, average time was 7:13 for the duration of the 14. Felt pretty good, I'm sure I could have put in a few more.

Cheston - I've taken a brief look at your training since January. I have an idea that will help you - never end a day other than Sunday without running at least 5 miles. Run 10:00 mile pace if you have to, run in your work clothes if you have to, run from tree to tree, take the baby in the stroller in the middle of the night if needed, but find a way to get those 5 miles in! Go more if you have a chance.

Thanks for the input. I know, sometimes I'm a slacker. You'll be disappointed to hear that I haven't ran sence last Saturday the 19th. I've got all kinds of excuses. Let's just say I've been working 18 hour days for the last week straight, so I'll I want to do when I'm not working is sleep.
It seems to me, that every time I get to where I want to be in my physical fitness, work or something else puts my training comittments to the test.
I know I can find a way to get the training in I need to. I'm sure some of it is a motivation thing. I've got big plans for running and some things I'd like to accomplish this year, but I won't get there if I keep taking a week off here and there.
Thanks for the little "stop being a slacker reminder". I'm going to set some new training and getting up type goals. If I expect to compete with the best I need to start training like them.
