My knees are giving me trouble. Either I am over training, I need new shoes, or I am getting to old. The latter I would rather not think about. I have noticed that it is taking me longer to recover from my long runs than past marathon training. Think I will start with the shoes first. :) 

It was a beautiful spring day so Miles and I took our time and he stopped several times to sniff the new scents! Planting season has started. Can't wait for the smell of fresh dirt!

I have officially switched to the Deadwood half marathon. I have also decided to cut my miles and stay on dirt roads for longer runs.

I was all set to run outside tonight and as I was getting ready I noticed some rather ominous looking clouds to the west, checked the radar, and decided to wait out our first thunderstorm of the season. By the time it was over it was to dark. 

Since I am only doing the half I decided maybe I should put a little speed work in my training.

Treadmill: warm up, 1 mile @ 8:34 pace, cool down. Played Boston loud!!!!!!!!  (That was for you, Mom!)   ;)

5 miles with Miles

This was just a local race in memory of a beautiful little girl who lost her battle to brain cancer 4 years ago. 

I was happy with my time, it was a good speed workout. 

On my way to Bismarck to hang with Tara and Alexander for the weekend.

Ran with Mom's pic. This was in memory of her battle as well.
