The Hurricane Half Marathon was a blast. The weather ended up just right for a run, although there was a pretty good head wind through most of the run. Mile 1 was a warm up mile, just wanted to get the legs loose and ready to go, my split for this mile was 9:06. Mile 2 was starting to find a good rythum and hung with two guys fron out of country, one was from South Africa, the other was from England very nice men. My pace for mile 2 was 8:30. Mile 3 to mile 7 found some uphill and my pace slowed some, still hanging with the two guys from out of country, there goal was to get in under 2 Hrs. Mile 9 found some very steep down hill I was still feeling very good and pace was at 7:47. Miles 10 and 11 some more up hill still feeling strong. Decided to pick up the pace a little and said good-by to the guys out of country, Mile 12 pace was 8:39, and mile 13.1 pace was 8:01. All in all I felt good throughout the whole race, ended up being my second fastest Half Marathon.

I love sat. long runs early in the morining, there is not much traffic and it feels like you have the road to yourself. I did feel good today, after yesterdays recovery day. This week I feel like I got in a good week of training with up hill work outs and some down hill. I  am very excited for this summers running season, I feel in good health and I hope my Lymphoma dose'nt return. My goal is no radiation treatments this year.I would like to pr on my summer races. In June I am planning on a 10 miler, in July a couple of 10k's, and Aug. a half marathon. Ending in Oct. with the SGM.

Wow what difference a day makes in theweather. When I headed out the door for my run it looked like it my rain, so I took my rain jacket and headed out the door. I got up around the golf course and it started to poor, by the time I made gu corner I was soakin wet. I ended up cutting my run to a six miler, and called it good for the day. I will try and make the mileage up tomorrow. I did feel pretty good today until it started to rain, and it turned cold fast.My total time today was 58:00.

I ran in my K-13's great shoe.

Recovery run today, my legs did feel a wack from yesterdays 10 miler. I did do alot of uphill work today to try and build some more leg strength. My total time today was 1:23:12, average pace was 9:72. Perfect day for a run, not to cold or to hot just right.

Don't know if I will get a run in today, my girl's have a dance recitale tonight, and we have to be there about the time I would be getting done with my run. Hopefully there will be time after that I can get in a few miles. Oh by the way looks like I will have a C.T. scan next week to check on my lymphoma cnacer. There are some new spot's just below my belly button that are flareing up, sore that wont heal up that kind of thing . Hopefully I won't have to have some more radiation, if so the timeing kind of stinks. So cross your finger's. Catch ya later.

Nice beautifull morn for a long run. I did feel good today had good leg strength and felt in a pretty good rythum all through the run. My total time for the run was 2:43:11, with an average pace of 10:01. It was an ok week of training allthough there was alot of family stress dealing with oldest daughter. Hopefully in time things will get better. Time will tell.
