Bloc Party-Flux
I will start you off with one of my favorite songs to listen to before I go to workout or even just go for a run. Bloc Party is pretty chill and their music is in my opinion quite rad. Not much has happened in the weeks since the 25k. I have been training and working which has basically become my lifestyle. I had back to back weeks of 100 miles (100, 105) and this past week hit 90. It was the first time in over a year that I was able to hit 100 miles in back to back weeks. This is not a huge accomplishment considering I was able to string together about 6-8 weeks of 100 mile weeks back in college, but it is a sign of my return. The confidence is still high and my strength gets better each day. I have had a bad run or two during the last couple of weeks, but the next day I bounced right back.
Grandma's Marathon is less than two weeks away now and the anticipation is starting to build. I am more excited for this marathon than I was my last. I have a much better support crew with me this time and for the last two months I have actually had a training partner, something I did not have while living in Seattle prior to my race. I am looking forward to getting some redemption from the last time, but I know it will take a smart race in order to accomplish my goal of a sub 2:19 marathon. I will leave you with a quote from one of the all time greats: "We are different, in essence from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon." -Emil Zatopek, A Czech runner, and winner of 4 gold medals.
Good Luck with all of your running. If you have any questions about my training or anything else feel free to ask.
