Completed 9 marathons with mixed results. 3:38 being the best out of the 9. It's been several years since I have participated in a marathon. Priorities and health have played a roll with racing the last few years. Hoping to get out and participate and have some fun.

Really want to race again. 5k's to the marathon. Love to qualify to run Boston at some point.

Keep running and family balanced and be as fit as I can so I can run and play with the family.

Happily married for some time......5 great kids that overachieve in whatever they choose to do.

Blog titile explanation: Been diagnosed with a brain tumor late 2013. With my lack of confidence in the medical field and just not feeling good about it......I will be running with my friend, "Tiny Tim" until further notice.

Week 2 of the RLRF program. Not sure how to take these monday workouts. Trying to figure how hard to go but still finish them. Saturdays run was just fine and I ran well below the targeted pace, but these intervals I fall well short of the range. Hopefully I will recover for Wednesday run. I sold my motorcycle today...... I'll be doing a bunch a cycling for now....which is a good thing.

Good run. You'll find out the intervals get easier. I think we just need to teach our legs to move faster :-) I like the way you were able to keep dropping the pace. My struggle is to keep the recoveries at the 2 minutes, but I did pretty well today. I think our tempo on Wed will be pretty easy :-)

Sold your motorcycle? Talk about getting serious!

Nice 800s, much better than mine the other day. 2:58 is a pretty agressive pace, that RLRF guy is crazy.. Only Preston could pull that off!

Slowjoe.... I sold it but I failed to mention that I'm looking for another one. Just gives me a great excuse to ride a bit more on the bicycle. You are sooooo right.....Preston is an animal...I can't believe his paces!!! I'm thinking I could have possibly got mine to 3 or 3:05 but he is ripping out sub 3's like it was nothing....
