The Training is under way

Three days into the training for the Boilermaker and all is well. A total of 10.5 miles and the paces are pretty good. My goal this week is to get in 18-20 total miles. The weekend looks like it is going to be good for a canal run so I am confident. I may try to get some speed work in tomorrow or Friday. That is always a good way to change things up.

Roger found the RV that we are thinking about getting for the weekend next year.



Now that's an RV. It has all the essentials except the hot tub.

I am about to get settled in on my decision to run Austin again this year and perhaps a west coast event. Not going to do Atlanta, did not really like the event. I need to get some dates final and get the training schedule worked out. Much to decide!

Looks like Kathryn is on plan to run the Rochester 1/2 - I am going to see if I can volunteer to work the event. It should be fun.

I liked this quote from a daily devotional that I get on mail.

MAKE US LIKE THE WIND — ever-moving and ever moving others. And with joy we will dance with the leaves. In submission we will linger in the shade, cooling the skin of those scorched by the sun’s heat. In awe we will pause and be still enough to hover over creation, admiring your world and waiting for your command. And when you move us, we will fly with more strength, reminding people that you are present even in times you may seem invisible. Breathe into our souls, Lord, and make us like the wind, like your Holy Spirit — in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
