Not too Much

Not too much going on recently. The To-Do List hasn't been updated becuase my roomates are bums. I hope they read that.

Bromka , Hog and I did our Tufts loop this morning, which was lovely. The weather was really nice, about 34, sunny, and no wind.

I think I'm going to have to really take a hard look at my training between now and the Marathon. Going long each Sunday and running between 7 and 9 miles each morning, but I feel like I could be putting a lot more into my training. I think I am going to have to force myself to run workouts more consistently. And now we're talking about fartleks and tempo runs, which can really suck sometimes compared to short, fast track work. These longer workouts are really going to help me get in good marathon shape, though. I know I'm in good track shape now, as evidenced by the 4:19 last weekend, but I really don't know what kind of longer distance shape I'm in, especially considering I haven't done any work at tempo/longer interval pace. I'll get a good indication of my fitness at the Hyannis Half-Marathon in 2 weeks, which Hog and I have signed up for. I hope I can run the first half or so at 6:00 pace, and be able to bring the pace down from there, (hopefully much faster.... 5:30s would be nice).

And, I'd just like to say that "Only in Dreams" by Weezer is a really excellent song. The guitar crescendo/solo part about two-thirds of the way through the song is very well done.
