Ran a good run

Had a good run, tomorrow I try again. Getting ready for Vegas I’m looking forward to the great task ahead of me. When I think of running 26 miles forget the .2, I shake my head and just have to say wow the things I have overcame in my training over the last three years, not just the running part that seems so small to all the other life stuff that has happened to me and my family. looking back I think as people have said that near death experences when people say that they have seen the light and all of their past family and friends are waiting there for them it seems kinda like the ending of the marathon of life, like a real marathon people are waiting ? The late nite ramblings of a real tired marathoner, until tomorrow.

Ran 8 miles

Ran 8 miles, scary incounter with a coyote. I was running westbound on Telegraph Canyon Rd oppsite of traffic on the side walk 7.56 pace when I came across a drainage channel and tall brush, there it was 8-10′ away from me it, it seemed to be sizing me up as I was doing the same. We were so close to each other that all I could do is try to scare it off. Well I lifted my arm up as to throw my water bottle at it and I thought that would do the trick to scare it off, didn’t work it just stood there looking at me, I guess the thing that got my attention was it seemed to have no fear of me, holding it’s stance as what to do next. I started to walk away then started running again, dark and at my half way point I ran looking at every shadow differntly, when I felt I had left it behind I looked at my pace and I was doing 6:15 Mi,  well I slowed down and made it home. A very wild and cool looking creature, I wish it well from the safety of home.

Ran 18 miles

Ran 18 miles, wow it was hot and a late night the day before. All was worth it. I was running by the beach the whole training for this marathon and now running back on my old running road, Telegraph Canyon Rd in Chula Vista. It was very hot and I sweat so much that my red shirt looked like it was dusted it in white powder.  A tough run in the heat is a real drainer of energey for me. This week I will try to get 16 miles in before Friday and then another 18 on Sunday, last week my back was hurting more than it ever has in my life but I think the pain is going away now

Running brings out thoughts locked deep inside me ( yes I’m impressed with myself, why lie) and I am thinking of starting a pod cast and sharing my thoughts with the world or the one person that comes across my pod cast by chance, well see.

Here I go for # 6 Marathon back where it all started, Vegas !

First Marathon Vegas Dec 2005,  Second Vegas Dec 2006,  Third San Diego June 2007, Forth Vegas Dec 2007, Fifth San Diego June 2008 and now signed up for Vegas 2008.

Signed up for Las Vegas, booked My flight a few months ago but was waiting to see what Devine racing was doing and all seems good.  I found out on their website the full marathon is being capped at 10,000 I was going to wait and sign up at the expo but didn’t want to chance it.

 Can’t fly myself there just yet but soon I will be able to I’m 3/4 the way through flight school (what a blast!!!) I will not drive there anymore from Chula Vista, Ca.  Last Dec on my way to the Marathon,  I was doing a little over the speed limit in a place called Jean Nevada and a Nevada highway patrol wrote me a crazy double citation that costed me 600.00 So flying is a way to go fast and be safe and not worry about getting pulled over by that very nice man (just doing his job) All is well and life is good looking down the barrel of 26.2 will always pump My blood and put a smile on My face just thinking about it I can’t wait to be pushed to the limits of My body, Getting up at 3:00am on a Sunday, freezing, chafing, blistering and loving every second of this great life peak experience, See some of you there.
