I ran the Tuscan marathon!  Going into this thing i new I was out of shape  and over weight so I really did not have any asperations about doing Well.     We started off on a down grade then  it went hilly.  then fairly flat.  around Mile 8  we ran up to the bioshere. ( more hills.)  I was on pace to break my first 3 hour marathon until i hit mile 19  then i hit the wall.   I could not run.  i had to walk and jog the rest of the way to the finish.   managed to run 3:17.  

It is time to start thinking about making some new goals for 2008.   However, I must look at the past to see what I can improve on for the future!  

I ran 17 races in 2007.    It all began with The Painters Half in January.  In total I ran 2 Marathons, 5 Half marathons, 8 x 10 k and 1 x 5 k.       It has been a blast running with the club.  Steve, Dave, Clyde, Dustin who have been the most consistent in coming out and running club runs.  The club is growing and it is fun to meet the new runners.     

Nice miles before the storm.    Met up with Brother Holt down by the river.  He was going for 18 and i was half way through 10.  I was in no shape to follow the man.   So we jawed for a few and made fun of goldylocks then parted ways.   Holt is a pure running machine.  He reminds me of a top notch pure blood racing horse.
