Just found out that OKC Marathon is not an option for me now. I have a meeting I must attend that weekend. Time to regroup and figure out why I'm running :-)

Went to the gym for a cross-training day.

5 miles on the Elliptical

2 miles on the TM @ 7:30 pace

Upper body workout - 30 Minutes

Slow Joe told me that the Big-D Marathon is on April 14th. I already had plans to go to Ft Worth on April 13th and run a Mud Run with my daughter (she has already entered us). I'm now wondering if I could be somewhat ready and run the Big-D??? I planned to do the Mud Run as just a fun, slow thing anyway. As Callie hasn't been running much I figured we would walk and jog most of the Mud Run anyway.

Hummm...do I change my plans again?

Numbers 23:19 

God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?

I was really sore today from the weigh lifting I did yesterday. My arms and chest didn't want to go out and play this morning.

"IF IT'S NOT HARD IT'S NOT FUN... " :-)

It was pretty hot and humid this morning at 4:30 when I got up. My son had to be at school at 5:00 am to go to UIL competition so I got up to get him out the door. After doing that I decided I might as well go on out and run. When you start at 5:00 am you and your're supposed to run 16 miles you end up with extra time at the end...so what did I do? I just kept running. Here's the results:

Ran small loop 3X clockwise
66º, 90% Humidity, 14 MPH Wind
Target:
16 miles @ MP+30
Note:
Overall pace was a little slower than I hoped. I was thinking I could drop  to 7:45 on the second loop and 7:35 on the last loop.
