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.
Short-Term Running Goals:
Really want to race again. 5k's to the marathon. Love to qualify to run Boston at some point.
Long-Term Running Goals:
Keep running and family balanced and be as fit as I can so I can run and play with the family.
Personal:
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.
Rode early this morning due to work... 54 miles on a crisp but nice morning. Temps in the 50's and quite pleasant. Kept my speed up for most of the ride. avg pace 19.2 Not bad considering the hills that I climbed...

I don't know anything about bike riding but that looks like a very good ride.

Looks like the equivalent of a fast-paced long run...nice!

That is excellent! Good gracious! 19.2 mph without hills is excellent.

Burt Joe Flat thanks for checking up on me. It's been difficult but the bike riding has been fun. Flat.. if you ride between 18 and 21mph it is a good effort. Maybe a notch above good.Cycling heart rate and running hear rate are just a little different for me. If I am in the 85 percent of max range biking it is close to 80% effort running. Just a slight differenc. I find that I push harder biking than I do running. You can totally blow your hear rate biking. Just like anything else. Effort.
