Hot and humid this morning…it had to Wilke on the calendar didn’t it ;o).  About 4 weeks ago I took on Wilke, and I was defeated after only 2 repeats.  My legs were tired, and heavy and I had nothing to give.  This time I managed 5 regular ups, 3 backwards, 3 sprints and then a long cool down to the gym.  I need to be doing 7-9 ups, but as with a lot of my latest posts, I am focusing on the forward momentum.  It is 22 ½ weeks to the marathon so plenty of time.  I have the IBM 10K in 2 ½ weeks as the first race in the Distance Challenge.  I will run an awful time…probably over 43 minutes, but I am confident that 3 weeks later in the 10 miler I will run close to 70 minutes (sub 71 is the goal), and then at Decker I will push for as close to 1:30 as possible.

First step…goal this week is 43-45 miles…
