I did an extended golf course loop today, cooler temps around 78 degrees and a touch of fall in the air. I like fall, but I do not like winter and summer was way to short this year. My legs seem to be feeling good finally, so I am hopeing for a good SGM. I did 25 min on the bowflex, upper body work and some crunches.

Ran out past mini gu corner today. Legs are feeling a little bit more energy today. Pushed the pace a bit for the first half, then backed off to finish the run. I did 25 min on the bowflex upper body and some more crunches. I will take off friday and go for my last real long run on sat. then it will be time to taper.

I ran to the top of the river trail and back today, just a nice easy out and back. I did 25 min on bowflex upper body and some crunches. My legs did feel a little bit better today. I hope that the taper will be a good recharge for them.

I was awake at 4 am and ready to go for my long run, very tired and it started to rain hard. So I crawled back into bd and caught a few more hours of zzz's. Headed out at 8am and the conditions were perfect other than the legs are still whack. I think i have the Jim Simmons syndrome. I hope I will have a good SGM this year.

Nice easy long run this morning with my son Bryan, he came over ran with me which made for a nice run. Bryan will also be running in SGM next wekend along with my Brother Clay.

I guess I'm as ready as I can be for next weekends marathon, no real injury issues at the moment, I have been feeling some problems with my stomach muscels. They feel kind of sore after run a ways, and are bothersome when coughing. other than that I should be good to go.
