An Early April Update

It has been a while since I have posted on the Blog - it has however been good on the running and weight loss front. I have been averaging 26 miles per week for the past month, my times are starting to come down. I am really starting to feel good and require less time to recover. I have started to press a little harder on the speedwork and tempo days. My long runs are between 9 and 11 miles. I am planning on adding hills this weekend.
My weight is down to 243 which I think is really helping my runs. Most of my clothes no longer fit so I am replacing a small number of them. It is starting to feel really good. Much of this has also been helped by the fact I am not drinking at all - I am also spending more time in prayer. This at a time when work is really difficult - it is truely important to stay fit at all times, especially as preasure builds. Overall, I have absolutely no room to complain and do not intend to. God has been extremely good to me and the family. We have our health, we have sufficient means, abundant by most standards.
The girls have chosen thier schools, Kathryn is going to University of Rochester and Jennifer to Syracuse. Who would have thought that they would have chosen schools so close to home. I am really glad that they are not going to far away - I really enjoy thier company....
This weekend is Linda's birthday - we have to do something special.... Oh well, will try to get more later.
