GREAT 5-mile run. 3+ miles at marathon pace. Felt great! Marathon pace is getting easier and easier. Ran some at sub marathon pace. Felt good!

 

Plans have changed: Sometimes you hit a bump in the road that changes your plans, sometimes a road sign, sometimes a TV news story... Yesterday a TV news story became a road sign for me. On March 25, 2007 ING will hold its inaugural GEORGIA MARATHON right here in Atlanta. I heard this for the first time yesterday on the evening news. I was so excited!

 

I had previously planned to run the Kiawah Island Marathon in December but now I think I'll hold off and run my FIRST marathon in March in Atlanta. What an awesome chance to be a part of the inaugural Georgia Marathon! I'm so excited. Did I already say that?

So, now I'm thinking I might do the 1/2 marathon on Thanksgiving day and then start training (if not before) for the full on March 25. It won't be as easy as Kiawah -- Kiawah is FLAT! The GEORGIA MARATHON boasts some pretty good hills. I'll have to work those into my routine somehow.

 

Think we (me & my running partner) might start running around the rock on Saturdays or at least one Saturday a month -- that's probably ambitious enough. (GOT to get a car with better gas mileage!) I hear it's 5 miles around the rock, don't know about any hills though -- could run UP the rock! That'd be a hill!!!

 

Well, guys and galls, the next time I post a run it will be at sunset on the beach :~) Aren't you jellerous?!? YES, I said jellerous! -- that's my way of saying jealous, it's sort of like Jello... Anyway...

 

See ya!
