Well last saturday I ran to La Porte and back a very good 20 miles. My time was not good at all It took me 4:09 to run those 20 miles. I know its not great but I didn’t eat really well the day prior and I feel like I could do better. I ran for 1:40 min today and felt pretty good about that too. I feel ready to tackle this monster called the chicago marathon!!! So for the next couple of days I’ll probably run for 1:30 tonight and then try and run for 2 hours on friday or saturday and then taper down for the next week by next friday I’ll probably be running only 3/4 miles.
I’m thinking about changing my eating habits for the next 7 days or so that way maybe I’ll loose some weight. I figure the last four days I should start eating carbs and stuff.
Well I’m ready man… how about you?

Well saturday went as planned I ran for and hour and 50 minutes. Yep some where around 11 miles or so. I felt pretty good. The problem was that I then had to tackle my roof following that. So my day started at 6:40 with a 2 hour run and then I worked on my roof for the next 11 hours. I was pretty wiped out. But today was much better. Monday I worked at my dads house putting up siding but ran for 1:45 minutes the last ten mins or so I was hitting it pretty hard. Tonight I’ll run with krista and try and get in an hour or so. That’ll give me 2:45 for the day!!! That will be around 15/16 miles for the day. That’s not too shabby considering what I have been doing. I’m excited to be getting back into the groove of things. We’ll I’ll talk to you again probably around friday or maybe saturday night. More than likely sunday evening. C you later man!!

Ok well yesterday I didn’t do exactly what I said I was going to do. I did run for an hour. I ran 60 mins but there is a hill near here that I slammed 10-12 times for about 40 minutes I felt like that was pretty good. The first time I tackled that hill I felt like dying, but after a while I’ve noticed that it’s not so bad. I’m going to skip friday’s runs and take a 2 hour run on Saturday. I plan on slamming water all day tomorrow and eating lots of pasta ect so I’m good and carbed up for Saturday. No I’m sure your wondering about my distance. Well I’ll be honest at this point distance is not what I’m looking at I’m trying to run for time. before this whole kaput summer I was doing quite well. But at this point I’ll behonest I’m not so sure. But I’m working on it. Saturday will be the test. If I can run for two hours at a 9.5 or 10 min pace we’ll see how we sit. If I fail I guess it’s another week of trying to get up to that standard. Well so long buddy until Saturday night.

I won’t get into why I’ve been gone so long but let me just say that I’ve been quite busy. Yesterday I ran for 90 minutes I only ran at a 10 min pace but I did do 9 miles so I was pretty happy with that. Now that I’m back with a more regular schedule I’ll try and get back to blogging this sucker again. Yesterday morning like I said I hit 9 miles and then in the evening krista and I hit a local hill for 40 min. It wasn’t hard but I did run. Tomorrow I plan on running something similar maybe try and run for 10 or 11 miles and then in the evening i’ll try and hit that hill again. Im trying to slam the next month or so and get back to where I was. My problem is that I was up to 13-15 miles so my guess is that by next week I’ll be back up the 13/14 miles but after that the 17 mile mark you hit will be hard to get after. My legs will ready to DIE. But hey what’s a little stress.
